The Department of Public Health is composed of curriculam in Public
Health and School Health and Environmental Health. The department

and evaluating interventions and programs designed to improve health
status and quality of life for all individuals. The department has a
national reputation in all curricular areas and meets appropriate accreditation

education in schools at the elementary and secondary level. Upon graduation,
school health education majors must complete the National Teachers Exam
to receive the instructional teaching certificate in Pennsylvania.
