在这里学什么？

The Public Health program at St. John’s University - the first of its kind in Queens, NY - was created to address the urgent need and demand for public health professionals and to meet the challenges of public health in regional, national, and global communities. This program continues the Vincentian tradition at St. John’s to address poverty and social injustice by empowering individuals to work with local and global communities to improve health and protect the public.

Cited as one of the fastest growing professions by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, public health jobs are in greater demand as the global community faces potential pandemics, HIV/AIDS and disasters, while the national community faces staggering rates of non-communicable diseases, increasing health care costs, and health disparities.

Offered through the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, the 45-credit program, leading to a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree, offers two areas of concentration in either community health or global health, and is built to meet the educational demands of both recent graduates and working professionals.

Community Health

Community health addresses the wide range of health challenges in everyday communities. This concentration will provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to identify major behavioral, social and cultural factors that impact the health of populations, as well as the ways in which these factors influence the development and organization of public health programs and service delivery to these communities. Through coursework and fieldwork practice experience, students will target theory and methods for designing, implementing, and evaluating programs aimed at reducing the burden of major health problems. By utilizing appropriate principals and methods, from both social and behavioral sciences to address behaviors of individuals, groups and the communities, students will be well on their way to developing a strategy for improving a community’s health.

Career Outcomes

Public health professionals work to improve and protect the health of populations by performing an array of essential public health services, ranging from evaluating population-based health services to developing programs to promote health and prevent disease.

Public health professionals may work in a variety of private and public settings including local, state or federal health departments, community-based organizations, or in health advocacy, policy or research organizations. Public health professionals work in a diverse range of career positions. Positions vary based on the discipline and setting.

Examples of careers in Community Health include:

• Program planner
• Outreach specialist
• Health promotion coordinator
• Public health advisor
• Researcher
• Health educator
