Public Health

Introduction & Overview

The interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science in Public Health program at Manhattanville equips undergraduates with the knowledge and skills to analyze and contribute to public and population health policies. Through an interdisciplinary curriculum, students explore the determinants of health and disease at local, regional, and global levels. The program provides a strong foundation in scientific and policy approaches to public health management. Its skills-based core develops problem-solving abilities and critical thinking methods, preparing students for meaningful careers in public health.

Please note: The Public Health major recently moved from a B.A. to a B.S. The requirements for the B.A. and the B.S are identical.  Students entering in 2026-27 may continue to pursue the B.A. After 2026-27, students must declare the B.S.
