Public Health
The Public Health Program at Moravian University seeks to educate students to protect and promote the health of people in all communities. Public health faculty and students collaborate with communities to conduct research and provide service to improve population health and advance health equity.
Students majoring in public health can pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Public Health or a Bachelor of Science in Public Health. Students can also receive a Minor in Public Health. Students majoring or minoring in public health pursue a variety of careers in the fields of epidemiology, biostatistics, public policy and administration, social and behavioral science, global health, public health education, health communication, community health, occupational health and safety, nutrition, mental health, emergency management, environmental health, nursing, social work, and rehabilitation sciences. Students develop competencies and learn valuable skills throughout the public health courses that prepare them for careers in the health professions.
