Online Public Health Degree Overview

Ready to make your mark in a rewarding field? Start by earning your online Bachelor of Science in Public Health at Southern New Hampshire University.

Public health covers a range of fields – everything from developing and presenting wellness programs in local communities and creating public policies to fighting infectious disease outbreaks in West Africa. No matter where public health professionals work, they're driven by the same mission: to protect the health of populations and improve quality of life through healthy behaviors.

"Public health is the recognition that there are certain health issues that every population suffers from, not just nationally but internationally," said Dr. Sarah McCool, an adjunct instructor at SNHU. "It's important to understand the impact of globalization and how that affects public health. You can spread a disease in the time it takes to cross the world on a trans-Atlantic flight."

That means public health includes:

• Developing cleaner air initiatives
• Examining effects of smoking – and secondhand and thirdhand smoke
• Expanding access to fruits and vegetables
• Designing safe sex and reproductive health campaigns
• Creating transportation options to health services
• Building emergency preparedness plans
• Sharing the effects of bullying in schools

This online bachelor's program provides a strong foundation in biological and social sciences and emphasizes evidence-based approaches to program assessment, planning and evaluation. You'll also explore strategies for preventing disease, prolonging life and improving the health of entire populations.

Learn how to:

• Use principles to recognize patterns and trends
• Apply public health strategies to improve health, safety and quality of life
• Explain the effectiveness of health programs
• Identify health disparities and promote social justice
• Make globally, socially and ethically responsible public health decisions
• Design communication strategies that promote public health campaigns

If you choose to continue your studies after earning your bachelor's in public health, SNHU also offers a Master of Public Health degree – both with a general track and a global health concentration.

Public Health Career Outlook

The online public health degree is designed to prepare you for a variety of promising careers, including medical and health services manager, health educator or community health worker.

Public health professionals work in various settings and industries, including:

• Hospitals and medical facilities: Many organizations offer classes and events about topics like nutrition and exercise as preventative care – and continue to look for ways to educate people before they're patients.
• Managed care organizations: Healthcare and insurance costs rise when employees aren't at their healthiest, and these organizations can work with companies to focus on proactive vs. reactive solutions.
• Nonprofit organizations: There's a group for almost every condition that needs support: alcoholism, asthma, postpartum health, domestic violence, visual impairments and so many more.
• State and local health departments: These agencies are responsible for anything from monitoring water quality in the community, inspecting restaurants and markets, and creating safe places for children to play – and everything in between.
• U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): With a mission to fight any threats to health and safety, the CDC is responsible for over 1,000 programs since its launch in 1995, impacting millions of people.
