A Christian Health Approach
Get an integrated approach to health along with practice-focused preparation that will prepare you for a successful career in public health and healthcare. Through the the Department of Public & Community Health, you’ll learn to strategically address the health needs of priority populations at the local, national, and international level using a variety of health promotion and education strategies. Here, you’ll train with a dynamic network of Christian faculty who bring decades of real-world experience and research into the classroom.
