Description

We offer a Bachelor of Science in public health (BSPH) and minors in addiction studies, health care management, and public health. The BSPH program is accredited by the Council on Education in Public Health (CEPH). 

Service learning and community engagement are cornerstones of public health education at Falk College. By purposefully integrating classroom instruction with hands-on opportunities, longstanding faculty-agency collaborations locally and globally allow us to customize student learning experiences while helping address some of today’s most pressing public health needs. Undergraduate students can work with faculty-led research projects on topics including control of infectious disease, mindfulness-based meditation for veterans with posttraumatic stress, the impacts of community-level violence, health communication, addressing health disparities among minority populations, and childhood lead exposure in Central New York.  The BSPH program prepares students to work in a variety of public health positions and newly emerging preventive health areas in corporate wellness centers, college health services, insurance agencies, and pharmaceutical companies. Many students plan for graduate education in public health, health administration, health-related social sciences (medical anthropology, medical sociology, or health psychology), health policy and the law, and the health professions (medicine, nursing, physician assistance, pharmacy, or dentistry).
