Do you care deeply for others and want a career where you can work towards the betterment of the physical and mental health of your community? Then, public health might be a great field for you. Not only are there expansive career options with a public health degree, but you will be able to enter the workforce in a career that has a deep impact on those that you serve.
The field of public health is far broader than many realize. Anywhere you can put together the data to tell a story about improving lives, lengthening lives, saving lives — that’s public health. From clean air to seat belts to waste disposal to cavities, you will have a world of opportunities available upon graduation. So what does Geneva’s public health program look like?
Geneva College has partnered with Rize Education to deliver a program that features exceptional online training from expert public health educators. This collaborative hybrid program gives students the advantage of an on-campus and online experience resulting in the most comprehensive education available in this high-demand field.
The program prioritizes the following goals: an understanding of health systems and the various ways they are affected by politics; a strong background in quantitative studies, including statistics, probability, and data analytics; a foundation in the social sciences, including economics, anthropology, and sociology; an understanding of qualitative and mixed research methods; and a deeper exploration of the role economics plays within public health.
Not only will you receive a comprehensive education in the field of public health, but you will also receive instruction on biblical principles and how to develop a biblical foundation for your work. Geneva is dedicated to the integration of faith and learning. As a result, in all of your classes with Geneva you will learn how Scripture informs your course of study and how your faith integrates into your chosen work. If you want to enter the professional environment with a strong foundation of biblical truths, then Geneva is certainly the right place for you.
