This degree provides students with a basic understanding of public health, the health care system, and public health issues and policies related to health promotion, disease prevention, and public health education for local and international populations of all sizes. Public health and community health professionals work in partnership with private and public organizations and are expected to confront complex behavioral, cultural, and social health issues within communities. The skills and knowledge gained through this program will prepare graduates to work in governmental and non-governmental agencies, in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors, or to pursue graduate degrees in public health or a health or medical profession. Community health graduates address the local, national, or global health needs of diverse populations, providing understanding, education, monitoring, planning, interventions, and evaluation within a community setting. Students majoring in Community Health may choose from two concentrations, Global Health or Clinical Science, or elect to complete the degree with no concentration. The concentration in religion, culture, and values is particularly relevant for students who are interested in careers in law, national and international government, print and media journalism, library sciences, archives and museums, public and social service, teaching, advanced graduate studies, and religious communities and institutions. The Washington, DC metropolitan area is rich in the presence of many major religious traditions and their places of worship. Highly qualified undergraduates in majors may apply to the accelerated master’s degree in interdisciplinary studies with a concentration in religion, culture, and values. If accepted, and depending on their undergraduate major, students will be able to earn a bachelor’s degree in their major and a master’s in interdisciplinary studies with a concentration in religion, culture, and values after satisfactory completion of 150 credits, sometimes within five years.
