Students in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS) may choose the major in public health, which is offered by the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. This major leads to a bachelor of science (B.S.) degree issued by both SEBS and the Bloustein School. The public health major prepares students for graduate education in public health and for entry-level positions in a broad spectrum of private and public health organizations. Students in the program receive a conceptual understanding of interrelated health, environmental, economic, educational, and social welfare issues.
