19 courses with the subject PUBH, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
PUBH 100Introduction to Public Health3
Hour(s) This course provides students with both a conceptual and practical understanding of the field of public health. The beginning of the class covers the key concepts of public health (i.e. biomedical science, biostatistics, epidemiology, social determinants of health, etc.). The last portion of the class will examine public health in practice. Students will explore how public health practitioners utilize key concepts in the development, evaluation, and implementation of programs to further the health of communities.
Hour(s) This course will provide students with an understanding of how the field of public health has evolved. An overview of the historical trends of changes in disease patterns and the emergence of public health as a field of study will be explored. Some areas to be explored in this course include urbanization, epidemics and pandemics, vaccination and the law, the relationship between medicine and public health, tensions between civil liberties and public health, hygiene and morality, and eugenics.
Hour(s) This course will introduce students to a systematic study of the interaction of social, economic, behavioral, environmental, and other factors that impact the health and well-being of populations, including historical and theoretical frameworks. Students will also examine the impact of social influences on health including, gender, race, socioeconomic status, living conditions, education, religion, access to healthcare, public policy, and environment. Lastly, students will examine how understanding these influences have an impact on different populations and influence health equity.
Hour(s) This course will focus on the biological concepts of disease important to diseases of public health importance. Students will learn the etiology, pathogenesis, and risk factors for these diseases and the importance of prevention and control of these diseases.
Hour(s) This course is designed to expose students to areas of study in the field of public health not addressed in the current curriculum offerings. Students will have the opportunity to be exposed to new and emerging areas or special topics of interest in the field of public health.
Hour(s) This course will cover the principles of the impact of environmental contaminants on human health. Topics covered in the course will include historical roots of toxicology, physiological impacts of toxins on biological and ecological systems including absorption, distribution, elimination and biotransformation, and the application of toxicology to public health.
Hour(s) This course will introduce students to how the interaction of people with their environment can impact health. This includes the impact of populations on the environment and the environment impacting populations. Students will explore regulatory issues related to environmental health concerns, such as Clean Air, Water, and Sanitation. The overall impact of toxic substances on the environment and human health will also be explored.
Hour(s) This course will examine the contributions of gender and biological sex to overall health of individuals and populations. Students will explore topics such as reproductive health, sexual health and sexuality, gender identity, violence, occupational health and work and disease. Understanding health determinants and policy will also be explored.
Hour(s) This course will explore the topic of environmental justice through an interdisciplinary lens focusing on social justice and human inequity as its guiding principles. Topics will include the exploration of environmental justice as a social movement in the US and globally. Exploration of environmental racism and how it has led to inequitable impacts of pollution and environmental contamination among communities with a high population of Black, Indigenous, and other people of color will be covered. Students will also analyze how environmental problems contribute to and are reflective of social inequity, including issues of gender and economic stability.
Hour(s) This course will introduce students to the use of techniques, study design and strategies used in the field of epidemiology. The investigation of conditions (i.e. infectious and chronic diseases, mental health, environmental health hazards, and injury) will be discussed. Students will explore terminology, historical developments, evaluation of data sources, concepts of morbidity and mortality, the concept of causality, and screening as it relates to health and disease.
PUBH 100 and ( MATH 107 or PSYC 201 or BIOL 205 or INTG 115 )
PUBH 260Intoduction to Global Health3
Hour(s) This course will examine public health issues and challenges at the global level, including disease burden and health systems. Students will explore these issues through the lens of globalization and the exploration of diverse cultural differences and norms. Linkages among health, global development, and social, political, and economic determinants of health and their impact on health inequalities will guide the discussions in this course.
Hour(s) This course will provide students with a fundamental understanding of research design, research methods, and data collection. An understanding of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method approaches, and participatory research methods will be developed as well as the ethical concerns of conducting research.
PUBH 250 and ( MATH 107 or PSYC 201 or BIOL 205 or INTG 115 )
PUBH 320Health Promotion3
Hour(s) This course will introduce students to the field of health promotion. Students will learn to utilize health behavior theory to develop a health promotion program for diverse populations. Previous coursework in Public Health or a related field recommended.
Hour(s) This course will have students apply planning models, theories, and methods utilized by public health practitioners to the development and evaluation of public health programs. Students will focus on assessment, community involvement, intervention selection and development, implementation, and evaluation as part of a comprehensive process.
Hour(s) This course will introduce students to the organizational patterns and structures present in public health organizations and the skills necessary to lead these organizations.
Hour(s) This course provides students an opportunity to utilize a problem-solving methodology to examine current public health problems at the local, state, national and global levels. Students will work to identify evidence-based solutions to address problems facing public health practitioners using skills from classes taken throughout their program of study.
Hour(s) This course serves as the bridge between the academic and professional practice of public health. Students apply the knowledge gained in the classroom to a 120-hour field experience in the community. In addition, students will be able to gain new knowledge, practice their skills, and identify areas for professional growth and development. This course will also have students meeting each week in a classroom setting.
