Why Study Public Health Online at 海角社区
Public health is about helping communities stay healthy where people live, learn, work and play. In 海角社区鈥檚 online Public Health B.A., you learn how social, environmental and economic factors shape health in neighborhoods and regions, then use that knowledge to design practical solutions. You explore topics such as epidemiology, health promotion, community health assessment and policy so you can help prevent problems before they reach the hospital.
The program is rooted in the Public Health Competency Domains identified by the Council on Public Health Education and focuses on population health and health equity. Because it is fully online, you can stay in your own community while you study, connect local data and projects to your coursework, and prepare for roles in community health, health education, and related public health fields or for graduate study in areas like public health or health administration.
Faculty Who Practice What They Teach
In 海角社区鈥檚 public health program, you learn from faculty who are deeply involved in Colorado communities. They bring experience in local public health agencies, policy work, program evaluation and community based initiatives into your online classroom so you see how public health decisions play out on the ground.
For example, Associate Professor Erin Seedorf, Dr.P.H., is a faculty member in the Department of Health Professions whose expertise includes public health policy, local public health and community engagement. Before joining 海角社区 full time, she worked at the University of Colorado Denver鈥檚 Center for Public Health Practice, supporting communities across the state on tobacco control policy and evaluation projects. She uses this experience to help students understand how to partner with communities, interpret local data and advocate for evidence informed policy change.
What You鈥檒l Learn in the Online Public Health B.A.
In 海角社区鈥檚 online Public Health B.A., you learn how to look at health through a population lens instead of one patient at a time. Courses help you connect biology, social and behavioral science, data and policy so you can understand why some communities thrive while others face higher rates of illness and shorter lifespans.

- Explain core concepts in public health, including population health, health equity and the social determinants of health.
- Use public health data to describe health trends, identify priority problems and support evidence informed decisions.
- Describe how U.S. and global health systems, laws and policies shape community health outcomes.
- Plan and evaluate basic public health programs and strategies that respond to local health needs.

- Conducting community health assessments that highlight strengths, needs and health disparities.
- Designing health education and health promotion materials for specific audiences.
- Working with partners to develop, implement or refine local public health initiatives.
