About the Program

The Public Health Program at Towson University prepares students to work in a variety of public health jobs by developing knowledge and skills across key public health domains. The domains include foundations of health and disease, health communication, public health program planning and implementation, evaluation, health policy and evidence-based advocacy. The Public Health Program also provides real-world work experience through a culminating internship experience.

The Public Health Program is an excellent option for students planning to launch a career as a public health professional after graduation, pursue graduate education, or to use knowledge of public health to pursue a clinical career (e.g., medicine, dentistry, nursing).
