Public health is the science and art of protecting and improving the health of communities through education, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and research of disease and injury prevention. It's everything from leading a healthier lifestyle to ensuring safe drinking water. Public Health professionals create a safer world, both today and for future generations.
Public Health Programs
"I chose UNK because I know they have an excellent health science program for a low cost. It has a structured public health program and there are many opportunities for students to get involved on campus. UNK Health Sciences also has wonderful advisers who are always willing to help. My adviser, Dr. Todd Bartee, is currently guiding me through the pre-public health track and helping me prepare for my graduate degree at the UNMC College of Public Health in Omaha. The best thing about being a UNK health science student is knowing I have a strong support system and a place I can always come back to for help."
