Public Health

Baylor's Public Health program is a nationally accredited degree program that prepares students to promote healthy lifestyles and enhance quality of life for individuals and communities. Baylor offers three undergraduate Public Health concentrations:

• Public Health (general)
• Pre-Medical
• Pre-Physician Assistant (PA)

In addition, Baylor offers a joint degree program that allows students to earn a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a Master of Public Health in Community Health Science in five years.

Public Health educators work in a variety of work settings including nonprofit community health organizations, public health agencies, work site and health promotion programs and schools and voluntary health agencies (American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, etc). Students who choose the Pre-Medical/PA route, are uniquely prepared for entrance into medical/PA school through a public health lens focused on understanding the social, environmental, and behavioral factors that influence health across entire populations.
