What can you do with a degree in public health?

While the COVID-19 pandemic placed public health in the global spotlight, it also unearthed a growing need for individuals like you — strong, passionate students who not only choose to pursue a rewarding education, but a career in which you can address the challenges of tomorrow and protect the health of millions.
