HLTH 2300 - Introduction to Public Health

As a vehicular foundation, the study of public health embraces the social sciences, the biological sciences, humanities, and the arts. This course will examine the context and scope of public health, including history, philosophy, essential services, ethics, and applications to current events. Students will explore: professional roles and career opportunities within the public health workforce; the organization of global, national, and regional public health systems; costs, quality, and access to public health services. While no specific prerequisite course knowledge is required, this course will be of most benefit to individuals who are actively engaged in or contemplating a career in the health professions, public services, information management, or institutional governance.
