Public Health in Fairfield University, USA

Public Health in Fairfield University

Rooted in science and social justice, public health is a prevention-oriented, multi-disciplinary field that promotes conditions to protect and improve the health of people and communities. Public Health workers are involved in a variety of roles including but not limited to outbreak investigation, humanitarian response, cancer and heart disease prevention, injury and violence prevention, environmental toxicology, advocacy, immunization, bioterrorism surveillance, food and drug quality, public health nutrition, zoonotic disease control, corporate wellness, and more.

The public health program consists of a 30-credit major or 15-credit minor that will provide students with the opportunity to learn more about the health issues facing communities.

The major/minor is appropriate for students who are:

• Interested in a broad career focus that may encompass governance, advocacy, social justice, diplomacy, environmental studies, international development, healthcare delivery, behavioral and social sciences, communication/media or health informatics
• Excited by the idea of prevention of disease at a broader scale than the individual patient
• Motivated by social justice and reduction of health disparities both locally and globally

Fairfield University's Public Health Program is an applicant for accreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). Our initial application was accepted on September 7, 2018. Our CEPH site visit is tentatively planned for Spring 2022.
