Course Overview

A public health major is a perfect fit for students who are service-oriented and like to ask the bigger questions about health, understand why health differs across populations, and address health disparities and social justice on a community level in diverse local, national and global settings. As a service-oriented field, public health is a natural fit with the Jesuit mission.           

Program Highlights

  • Immediate impact: Public health students at Saint Louis University can make an immediate impact on community health with a curriculum that emphasizes hands-on service learning and social justice.
  • Evidenced-based:  As public health majors, SLU students consider evidence-based approaches to addressing health issues and examine the roles of individual behavior, environment, biology, social structures and policy in determining health outcomes.
  • Diverse opportunities: SLU's public health major opens the door to multiple career opportunities in diverse settings, including community organizations, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, government agencies, and non-profit organizations. 
  • Employment outlook: Public health has faster-than-average job growth in a diverse workplace.
  • Pre-medical studies: Pre-med students who major in public health at SLU gain a stronger understanding of how social, community, organizational, environmental, and policy factors affect the health of their future patients.
