Study in North Carolina, Public Health B.S.

Help Increase Health Accessibility

At JWU Charlotte, public health means improving the health of diverse populations. In our B.S. in Public Health, you’ll learn to assess and plan for community needs, exploring a holistic approach through interdisciplinary courses in public health, nutrition, exercise science, psychology, sociology and economics. 

Students in JWU’s public health program learn to think about global health and how to address global issues, focusing on a country and developing solutions to problems its populations face. Many take additional electives in management to become prepared for entry-level careers in such areas as healthcare administration and management, consulting, policy administration and quality improvement in healthcare.

Through small class sizes and personalized instruction, you’ll work closely with supportive, industry-knowledgeable faculty who take a personal interest in helping you prepare for your public health future. Having developed close relationships with local organizations, our faculty have helped students network and prepare for opportunities to improve community outcomes and conduct independent research.
