The School of Public Health
About the School
The mission of the School
of Public Health is to promote health and quality of life through
graduate education, applied research, and community service in the prevention
and control of disease, injury, and disability. The curriculum combines
knowledge of the disciplines of public health and practical applications
of that knowledge. By working collaboratively with community groups, agencies,
and populations, professionals are prepared to effectively address today's
most pressing public health problems.
Preparation and Partnership
The School prepares professionals to assess population health; to ensure
appropriate services through programmatic, economic, and organizational
interventions; and to develop and evaluate policy interventions.
The School believes that professionals can best
meet the needs of today and tomorrow with expertise in the integration
and practical application of all disciplines of public health. This belief
led to the establishment of a School of Public Health whose educational
and research programs are built upon partnerships
with communities and the organizations that serve them.
