The Department of Health Science’s mission is to aid and encourage students’ development into knowledgeable professionals and life-long learners who will lead efforts to support health equity for all within the fields of health science, public health, community health, health education and other related areas. The program fosters the development of person- and community-centered health professionals who are culturally sensitive and responsive to the complex social determinants of health. Upon graduation, our students are able to support and enhance the physical, psychological and social well-being of people, individually and collectively, in a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic metropolitan context.
The department has received over $10 Million in federal funding to develop new interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate certificates in Public Health Informatics and Technology, which will be offered across California. The department also offers undergraduate and graduate degree options, and intends to add a terminal degree option in Public Health (i.e., DrPH). These exciting changes align well with the University’s recent R2 designation. The department houses the Center for Health Equity Research and Center for Latino Community Health, Evaluation and Leadership Training.
