The School of Arts and Sciences, in conjunction with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, offers a major in Public Health Studies. The major has been tailored to prepare students for careers that have a basic science foundation, including medicine, and to orient students to health policy and management (domestic and international), to other social and behavioral sciences, and to the quantitative sciences fundamental to public health.
The Department of Environmental Health Sciences, Department of Epidemiology and Department of Mental Health will consider JHU undergraduates majoring in Public Health Studies for admission to the BA/MHS program. The Department of Environmental Health Sciences also offers a BA/MSPH in Occupational and Environmental Hygiene and the Department of Health Policy and Management offers a BA/MSPH in Health Policy.
Public Health Studies students should formally apply for early admission during their junior year. Applications can be obtained from the School’s Admissions Office, Suite E1002; by calling (410) 955-3543, from the Admissions website, or from the public health advisor on the Homewood campus. Admitted students must complete the BA degree before formally enrolling in the School, but up to one-half of the public health credits earned inter-divisionally toward the BA may also apply toward the MHS or MSPH degree.
For further information, contact Dr. James D. Goodyear, Public Health Studies advisor at 3505 N. Charles Street, Homewood campus; (410) 516-7812; or at goodyear@jhu.edu.
