The Bachelor of Science in Public Health (BSPH) is a competitive 59-64 credit major that challenges students to think critically about public health issues and propose solutions using social justice frameworks. Students learn to analyze behavioral, social, and structural determinants of health. Students may choose from the public health science, social justice and global health, or urban public health concentrations in consultation with an academic advisor.
At least 50% of this program can be completed online; however, the public health practicum is a required component which cannot be completed online.
Dual Credit Option
Public Health majors interested in pursuing an MPH at the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy (CUNY SPH) through an articulation agreement can earn 12 credits to be used for both undergraduate and graduate programs of study. Students interested in this pathway must be conditionally accepted as matriculating students in the CUNY SPH graduate program.
Undergraduate students majoring in Public Health with 60 or more credits and a minimum of a 3.0 cumulative grade point average may be permitted to enroll in up to 12 credits of graduate coursework at CUNY SPH. The student must speak with the faculty advisor to determine courses that will satisfy the undergraduate and graduate degree requirements.
The student conditionally admitted to CUNY SPH must commit to the program once admitted and must graduate from Lehman College with a Bachelor's degree to be fully admitted as a graduate student. The student must also receive permission from the program and/or dean’s office prior to registration.
