The public health system has never been more important, with its mission to “protect and improve the health of individuals, families, communities and populations” (ASPPH). With such growth, the field constantly needs competent, compassionate public health professionals dedicated to remedying disparities and assuring equitable access to care and services.
The Bachelor of Science in Public Health prepares students for a multitude of roles in the varied fields of public health practice, from creating policy and conducting research, to leading public health organizations and developing preventive health practices to improve individuals’ quality of care and quality of life.
The Public Health degree at Bellarmine follows the rigorous curriculum standards from the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), a mark of excellence for public health programs. Students in the program also complete a 90-hour internship with local and community partners in the Louisville area, providing an opportunity to aid underserved communities through projects and support, and to prepare students for a future career in the field.
Many of the courses in the curriculum feature community engagement, a hallmark of attending Bellarmine, to give back to various populations in Kentucky. Faculty members who teach in the program are recognized as national experts and serve on committees for state and national organizations, which presents numerous travel and networking opportunities for students in the department.
