Student Learning Outcomes

Bachelor of Science in Public Health - Environmental Health Science Major

The Bachelor of Science in Public Health (BSPH) degree combines a liberal arts education with a professional orientation. Students receive a broad general education in communications, arts and humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and quantitative methods. The curriculum introduces students to the complex public health issues and environmental health problems facing contemporary society at the local, regional, national, and global levels.

It fosters appreciation for the interdisciplinary nature of these issues and that problem-solving occurs in politically and culturally diverse environments. The curriculum develops students' critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, oral and written communication skills, and organizational skills so they are prepared to enter a broad range of organizations in a variety of entry level positions.
