The Department of Public Health is committed to providing high quality academic preparation for students to become effective public health professionals, scholars and teachers, and public health advocates in various health-related fields. The discipline of public health is rooted in the basic science of epidemiology, and integrates behavioral, social, and organizational sciences in a socio-ecological model whose ultimate aim is to improve the health of populations. The internal ethic of public health is a commitment to social justice and the elimination of health inequities between and among populations or population sub-groups.
