Welcome to the Elon Public Health Studies Program
This Web site offers information about the Public Health Studies minor and additional information that will be helpful to prospective and current students, faculty and staff about our curriculum, programs, events and goals.
The Public Health Studies minor introduces public health as an interdisciplinary study, emphasizing a population health framework and systematic thinking. Courses within the minor seek to strengthen a liberal arts and sciences education by enabling students to use the lens of public health and population study within and across disciplines. By taking courses in a number of disciplines, all focused on aspects of public health, students construct a foundation that encourages them to take socially responsible steps and gain an enduring understanding of the field of public health while enriching their career choices.
"The Public Health Studies minor has enabled me to explore different aspects of public health and helped me with my applications for graduate school. I intend to pursue a career in public health, so the more experience I gain as an undergraduate, the more prepared I will be as a professional."
