Public Health

Students who pursue a public health degree from Hiram College will take a common core of seven courses that provide a broad background to problems found within public health and the skill set needed to address those problems. Each public health student chooses one of three concentrations (Biomedical, Environmental, or Psychosocial) in which they take four additional courses to acquire more expertise in particular areas of public health. Finally, each student puts their learning into an experiential context through a public health practicum and a public health capstone presentation. The public health minor is comprised of six courses to provide a broad introduction to the components of public health and would complement virtually any major on campus.
