Public Health, B.S.
Unlike the traditional model of medicine, which is centered on diagnosing and treating illness in individual patients, those in the field of public health focus on the prevention of disease in the general public and on educating them to improve wellness.
Those who enter this field must be able to think strategically about the many forces that impact public health — the environment, relationships, and education, to name just a few. They must also be prepared to lead, boldly rising to the challenges, rigors, and changes that define public health and health systems in the 21st century.
Our B.S. in Public Health program prepares students to enter this field by providing them with a foundation in epidemiology, biostatistics, social and behavioral sciences, healthcare administration, and environmental health as well as the strategic thinking, administrative, planning, data collection and analysis, and communication skills that employers value highly and which lay the foundation for a lifetime of career success.

Job Opportunity Potential
At the University of New Haven, we re-imagined how career development should work and created an approach that is integrative instead of merely transactional. That means future career success is built right into your entire academic experience.
It also means that everyone in the University is involved in Career Development, not just a few dedicated staff members. It really does take a village, in our opinion, to sow the seeds of a successful career — from faculty members who design career-focused curricula, to Resident Assistants who are intensely engaged in setting up career workshops and seminars, to the many campus events where career development is always a presence, to mini career fairs that are discipline-focused instead of come-one-come-all events. And that’s only a small sample of what you can expect.
For undergraduates, graduate students, alumni, and employers, Career Development is more than an office at the University of New Haven. It’s a philosophy — and it’s our culture.
