Public Health Program Description
Public health is an interdisciplinary academic program that aligns with Goucher’s ethos of equity, diverse perspectives, social responsibility, global education, lifelong learning, <br>collaboration, and complex problem-solving. For that reason, the Goucher faculty approved a Public Health (PH) major, which will be jointly offered by the Departments of Sociology &amp;amp; Anthropology (SOA) and Environmental Studies (ES). Building on a minor established in 2016, this new major is designed not only to leverage the strengths of SOA and ES but also to integrate other programs to provide students with a robust liberal arts education.
