Bachelor of Science in Public Health
Students enrolled in our undergraduate program want to improve the health and well-being of those around them and be healthcare leaders in their communities. Founded on the principle of social justice, the concept of public health ensures that all citizens have the opportunity for good health.
Public health is a new field of study at the undergraduate level. In the past, colleges and universities throughout the country only offered graduate degrees in public health. Now, WVU students can start a career in public health after earning a Bachelor of Science in Public Health.
