Program in Public Health

The Program in Public Health (PPH) was established in 2003 to provide institutional focus for existing academic strengths in various sub-disciplines of public health, and to facilitate well-grounded education and innovative research in emerging aspects of the field. Under the Program in Public Health, undergraduate degree programs began enrolling students in 2006, and the Department of Population Health & Disease Prevention was established in 2007 to advance the collaborative interdisciplinary mission of public health research and education. In coming years, the Program in Public Health will expand to become a School of Public Health with accredited undergraduate, MPH, and Ph.D programs and a dual degree MD/MPH program with the School of Medicine.

Degree Programs in Public Health

The Department of Population Health & Disease Prevention currently offers a B.S. in Public Health Sciences and a B.A. in Public Health Policy; and a Master of Public Health (MPH) in three concentrations: Environmental Health, Epidemiology, and Sociocultural Diversity and Health. The first cohort of MPH students will enroll in Fall 2009. For more information on the undergraduate programs, please contact Ms. Dahlia Warman (dwarman@uci.edu). For more information about the graduate program, please contact Ms. Stephanie Uiga (suiga@uci.edu).

The Public Health Association

The Public Health Association is a student-administered academic and community service club committed to serving students as they pursue their passions in public health and serving the local community. For more information please contact PHAuci@gmail.com
