BA in Community Health

B. A. Community Health Degree Description

This degree is a good choice for students who are interested in having a more flexible major and who are more focused on the humanities or social science aspect of public and community health. Students who graduate with this degree can pursue additional education in public health or go directly into a job in fields such as health promotion or program development. This degree track allows plenty of room to add an additional major or minor, allowing students to focus their classes. For example, students interested in working among Spanish-speaking populations may opt to do a Spanish major or minor along with this degree. This track is also a good choice for students interested in pursuing clinical degrees that have fewer science pre-requisite courses such as nursing, dental hygiene, or occupational therapy.
