The syllabus highlights key areas such as public health and healthcare systems, introduction to epidemiology, and health data analysis, culminating in a community health capstone project. You will develop essential skills in quantitative and qualitative research, communication strategies, and policy analysis. Graduates are well-prepared to pursue careers in community-based organizations, government health agencies, or to advance to graduate programs in public health, nursing, or allied health professions.
