Program Description
Public Health is an interdisciplinary field of study and practice with three primary goals:
- address pressing and emerging threats to health and well-being;
- prevent illness, disease and injury; and
- promote and protect human health.
In achieving these goals, public health emphasizes social justice, supports human rights and respects the dignity of individuals and the integrity of communities.
