The Bachelor in Public Health (BSc) degree at Gannon University (Erie) combines a foundation in health-related courses, sciences, humanities, and social sciences with a breadth of courses within one or more departments of the University.
In addition to the major requirements, which represent the health and science focus of the college, students will select a concentration track that will build on students' personal and career goals and interests. There are three concentration tracks: 1. science, 2. health care with management, and 3. health education/communication.
The science option is designed for students who desire a broad, strong foundation in the core sciences that also incorporates health-related courses.
The health care with management option is designed for students who want to focus on the business/management side of health care. This track is desirable for students who want to move into staff and administrative positions within the health care industry or to continue their education in business or management.
The health education/communication option prepares students to pursue careers as health educators.
During the Bachelor in Public Health (BSc) program, students will gain extensive hands-on classroom and service-learning opportunities, and pursue an internship in their field of interest.
