Bachelor of Public Health Curriculum

Norwich University’s online Bachelor of Public Health is designed to enhance your foundational knowledge of health and public health while letting you explore more specialized areas such as disease prevention, disaster response planning, and crisis management.

Much of the coursework gives added focus to the role of military, first-responders and veterans in addressing today’s public health challenges.
