Program Goals
La Salle University’s Bachelor of Science in Public Health Program educates individuals for interdisciplinary, collaborative health care practice in local, regional, national, and global environments. Graduates plan, implement, and evaluate health programs to improve the health of vulnerable and diverse groups, with a focus on urban populations, social justice, and health education. We are committed to educating students from diverse disciplines and backgrounds in core public health knowledge areas so that they are equipped to help prevent disease and promote physical and mental health and social well-being through public health practice, leadership, and research. Graduates of the public health program are prepared for graduate study in a variety of health professional fields and for public health practice jobs.
