Public Health
Work on tomorrow’s health solutions today in the field of Public Health. With programs offered through the Department of Public and Environmental Wellness, aspects of public health include environmental health, community health, epidemiology, health policy, global health and more. In this field, you will ensure that conditions for people to be healthy are available to all people and communities.
We offer a scholarship program for Master of Public Health (MPH) and Wellness and Health Promotion / Master of Public Health combined program students. Visit the Student Resources page to learn more.
Improve the health of individuals and communities with a Master of Public Health (MPH). You’ll learn to use a skills-based, hands-on approach through our innovative teaching model that incorporates service-learning opportunities and community-based participatory research throughout our curriculum. Our partnerships provide you with the opportunity to determine community needs and develop initiatives that make a positive impact while engaging in public health practices.
Complete a bachelor's and master's degree in less time than would be required if the two degrees were done independently. Graduate with a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in approximately one calendar year after completing a B.S. in Wellness and Health Promotion, saving both time and money while also increasing your career and income potential.
Live and promote a healthy lifestyle with a Bachelor of Science in Wellness and Health Promotion (WHP). Our dynamic program equips you with a different kind of health care education: one that focuses on promoting health and wellness through management, strategic planning, community engagement and more.
Minor
Choose a minor in Wellness and Health Promotion (WHP) to live and promote a healthy lifestyle within your main area of focus. This minor is available to any Oakland University student majoring in other health programs as well as programs such as anthropology, integrative studies, human resource development, psychology, sociology and more. And as an added benefit, several credit hours in this minor meet University General Education requirements.
Enhance your knowledge in developing and communicating program goals and objectives to stakeholders, and improving the efficiency and quality of health program delivery, with the Global and Population Health Services (GPHS) graduate certificate.

With the graduate certificate in Health Equity (HE), expand your knowledge of the root causes of health inequities. You will be prepared to develop and implement strategic initiatives that diminish health disparities and foster equitable health. This certificate can be taken as part of OU’s MPH degree or separately.
Advance your knowledge of epidemiologic methods and gain experience in developing a robust research student design and conducting higher-level statistical analyses.
