Public Health, B.S.
Mission
The mission of the Bachelor of Science in Public Health program is to prepare Christian men and women to be public health agents of change: dedicated to improving population health, promoting disease prevention, and advocating health equality, through community health assessment, education, promotion, and policy development.
Degree Program
The Public Health major provides rigorous academic and practical experiences based on Biblical principles to prepare students for careers in various aspects of public health, including health care systems, health care policy and administration, occupational and environmental health, health promotion, and global health. The curriculum is designed with a foundation of core public health concepts, basic sciences, and behavioral health, focusing on public health principles and practice. In addition, there are three concentrations within the Public Health major that allow students to (1) have an emphasis on Global Health, (2) prepare for Pre-Health Professional graduate programs, or (3) complete both a B.S. then an M.P.H. on an accelerated track. The major includes quantitative and qualitative coursework that equips undergraduates with a broad understanding of the discipline, preparing them for careers in government health agencies, healthcare systems, and non-profit organizations, as well as graduate degree programs including the M.P.H., M.D., D.V.M., Pharm.D. or Ph.D. in health disciplines.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Public Health, students will be able to:
1. Identify and summarize information relevant to assessing and improving population health (ULO 1).
2. Identify data collection, analysis, and interpretation methods used in public health practice (ULO 1, 2).
3. Explain how biological, behavioral, cultural, and environmental factors impact the health of individuals and communities (ULO 1, 2).
4. Use the science of human health and disease to provide opportunities for promoting health and wellness. (ULO 3).
5. Explain how biblical principles relate to health, cultural competence, and community service (ULO 3).
Each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) listed above references at least one of the University Learning Outcomes (ULO 1, 2, 3), which may be found in the General Information section of this catalog.
GPA Requirements
All major requirements must be completed with a "C-" or better grade.
Curriculum Requirements
The number of credits required to graduate with a Public Health, B.S is the university minimum of 120, and the degree offers two concentrations, Global Health or Pre-Health Professions, as well as a track to the MPH, all of which are detailed below.

MPH Grad Track
Students will earn a Public Health, B.S. and advance to the Master of Public Health in one of two specializations offered by completing a minimum of 150 credits for both degrees.
The mission of the Master of Public Health (MPH) program is to provide rigorous academic and practical experiences to equip public health agents of change: dedicated to improving population health, establishing preventative measures, and promoting health equality, with careers in government health agencies, healthcare systems, and non-profit organizations.
The MPH program at Biola University is focused on preparing public health professionals who are ethical leaders equipped to serve local and global communities. Our MPH program allows students to focus on one of two public health specializations:
1. Master of Public Health in Global Health
2. Master of Public Health in Epidemiology
The Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) for the Undergraduate portion of the MPH Grad Track are located on the tab of this program page. The PLOs and Admission/Graduation Requirements for the Graduate (MPH) degree can be found on the program pages for the Master of Public Health in Global Health and the Master of Public Health in Epidemiology.
CEPH Accreditation Status
The MPH program at Biola University is a pre-candidate for accreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). Biola University is working with CEPH towards obtaining Public Health Program (PHP) CEPH accreditation.

NOTE: The course sequence table is designed by the major department and is one way that the classes will work out properly in sequence for your major. However, there are alternative or flexible ways to rotate some of the classes within the same year/level and sometimes between year levels. Please contact your major department advisor to discuss flexible alternatives in scheduling the sequence of your classes.
Taking coursework during the summer session may also be an option to accelerate your degree path.
