Do you want to create solutions to global challenges and generate social impact in health and health care? Develop the innovative mindset you'll need to tackle the complex public health issues that affect local and global populations.
The Bachelor of International Public Health program builds and strengthens the international public health workforce using coursework from two leading universities: Arizona State University and the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.
Aligned with U.S. accreditation standards in public health, the BIPH program teaches new approaches to:
- communicable disease prevention and surveillance
- environmental health
- global health management
- health promotion and education
- public health issues
- public health policy
Students develop a holistic, equitable, ethical and sustainable approach to public health practice, collaborating with diverse stakeholders to develop and implement strategies to ensure health for all.
In their final year, students complete a research-based capstone experience in their area of interest, which prepares them for their career of choice. Students use this opportunity to develop and implement public health research and interventions with community-based organizations throughout the world.
