New B.S. in Public Health to Begin Enrolling Students in Fall
The College has received approval from the New York State Education Department to offer a Bachelor's Degree program in Public Health. Students will be eligible to enroll in the new program beginning in fall 2016. The Public Health program represents the evolution of the College's current B.S. program in Health and Human Sciences (HHS). Whereas HHS placed an emphasis on the basic sciences, the Public Health program will expand the focus to integrate coursework in areas that include social science, applied science, epidemiology, statistics, and research. All students enrolled in the HHS program as of fall 2016 (including incoming freshmen) will be able to continue in that program through their graduation. HHS students will also have the option of transferring into the B.S. in Public Health program. To learn more,
