The Public Health Studies Program is a major that offers undergraduates an introduction to the vast and interdisciplinary world of public health by offering a variety of courses on the Homewood campus and also at the JHU Bloomberg School of Public Health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students begin their studies by taking foundational, core and intermediate public health courses (all on the Homewood campus); and, in their final year of study, students deepen their public health knowledge by having the opportunity to take courses at the JHU Bloomberg School of Public Health.\u202fThe list of courses that can be taken at the Homewood campus and can be used to fulfill these requirements is available in the e-catalogue<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All students must take a series of foundational quantitative, natural sciences, and social sciences courses to build a strong base from which to learn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Students must take one semester of calculus. This requirement can be fulfilled by using AP credits accepted by JHU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students must take two semesters of biology and one corresponding lab. While students typically fulfill this requirement with introductory biology classes, upper-level classes can also count. This requirement can be fulfilled using AP credits accepted by JHU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Students can choose two introductory social science courses. Courses applied to this requirement must come from different academic departments (i.e., Psychology, Sociology, Economics). Current students, please see your PHS Community Page on Canvas<\/a> or contact your Academic Advisor with questions about course eligibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Six core courses are required.
