Academic Programs
The Department of Public Health prepares students to make meaningful contributions in regional health systems, public health networks, occupational environments, and health services.
Through its university and community-based programs that involve a blend of physical, mental, emotional, and social dimensions of learning, the program prepares engaged and knowledgeable individuals to enhance community health and enrich the quality of life.
Public Health offers two undergraduate programs and a graduate program:
-
Bachelor of Science in Public Health
- Community Health Education (CHE)
- Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S)
-
Bachelor of Science in Health Services Administration
-
Master of Public Health in Health Promotion, Policy and Leadership
Each course is designed to give students a well-rounded education in public health, while providing strong preparation in one of these areas.
The Program of Public Health at California State University, Sacramento is undergoing a review by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) for accreditation. Part of this process includes the provision of a third-party comment period, which allows anyone, including students, alumni, faculty, staff, community and practice partners, and members of the public, to share relevant information about the program directly with CEPH. If you have any information about the Master of Public Health program you would like to share with CEPH to inform their review, send your comments to submissions@ceph.org by August 25, 2025.Connect with Public Health
