Public Health
Public health applies the knowledge of many disciplines (political science, medicine, social work, management, mathematics, nutrition, economics, biology, statistics, anthropology, psychology, communication, computer science, veterinary medicine, education, and numerous other fields). Public health is big-picture, upstream, holistic thinking that can make sense of some of our sprawling, complex problems.
There are many opportunities in public health. In fact, the field expects some shortages of public health professionals in the coming decade.
Public health graduates work in Government Agencies such as the Department of Health, the Center for Disease Control, and the World Health Organization. Not-for-profit and community based organizations including March of Dimes, and Children's Hospitals and Clinics. As well as private industry: medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies. Universities, research institutions, and health care providers such as United HealthCare, BlueCross Blue Shield are also large employers in the field.
