Description
The Public Health Major is designed for students driven by a desire to solve the world’s most pressing health challenges. Unlike clinical medicine, which focuses on treating individuals, Public Health focuses on prevention and the health of entire populations. Students may tailor their degree to their professional goals by choosing between the Health Equity concentration, which centers on social justice and systemic change, or the Health Sciences concentration, which prioritizes understanding the biological drivers of disease.
