Modern health care extends beyond the hospital and into local neighborhoods. Whether it means ensuring everyone has access to nutritious and fresh foods or providing vulnerable populations with preventive checkups, health care is now a community matter.
The BS in community health develops leaders who are dedicated to addressing health challenges at their source and creating partnerships with both public and private organizations to leverage resources. By creating a communitywide response to these challenges, graduates can better advocate for patients and provide education opportunities for people of all backgrounds.
Students with an interest in community change find that this degree prepares them to be informed health activists, organizers, planners and well-rounded members of the local, regional and national community.
