Public Health
Make a meaningful impact on the health of individuals, families, and communities
In our Public Health programs, you’ll learn how lifestyle, environment, policy, and education work together to shape health outcomes. Our integrated, hands‑on approach prepares you to design and lead programs that prevent disease, promote wellness, and support the needs of diverse populations—locally, nationally, and around the world.
At Liberty, you’ll be taught and mentored by Christian faculty who bring decades of real-world public health experience and research into the classroom. They’ll guide you as you build practical skills, gain field experience, and explore your calling in public health or healthcare.
Our undergraduate and graduate degrees prepare you for a rewarding career or for further study in clinical and professional fields. Students who complete the program and meet all prerequisites will also be eligible to pursue national professional certifications, including the Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) and the Certified in Public Health (CPH) credentials.
Our Mission
Embracing the Christian worldview with a commitment to serve the under-served, the Liberty University Public Health Program provides diverse educational, research, and practice opportunities to enable others to experience the embrace of God—“A faithful envoy brings healing” (Proverbs 13:17b).
Our Vision
We envision a cadre of fully prepared Christian health professionals dedicated to overcoming health disparities and improving the well-being of people from every tongue, tribe and nation, especially the poor and disadvantaged, throughout the world.
