For 2020-2022 and earlier catalogs, the Public Health major offers six concentrations: Biostatistics and Public Health Informatics, Environmental Health Science, Health Policy and Management, Infectious Disease and Microbiology, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Nutrition. 

The concentration requirement for the PBH degree requires at least 9 hours of coursework from approved concentration lists. The concentration hours can be completed by taking courses from a single approved concentration list, or through taking approved upper-division PBH courses. Students can choose to take all 9 hours from one approved list, some from an approved list and some from upper-division PBH courses, or all 9 hours from the upper-division PBH courses. The concentration does not need to be “declared” and the concentration you choose will not be noted on your transcript. 

The approved concentration course lists do not guarantee availability of courses. If you have questions about registering for a course that is outside of the School of Human Ecology, please reach out to the department offering the class for more information about registration. The Human Ecology Advising Center will not be able to help students register for courses outside of SoHE.
 

Concentration Lists

The following lists contain the approved courses for the 18-20 and 20-22 catalogs. You must choose at least 9 hours of coursework to fulfill the concentration. Courses must be taken from the same list. 

**Students on the 22-24 catalog and later catalogs do NOT have to take concentration courses. Students are instead required to take PBH 363 and 6 hours of additional upper-division Public Health courses (excluding the core foundation PBH 354, 356, 358D, 334, 338). These courses can be chosen from the above list.**  

20-22 and earlier catalog concentration lists:

Biostatistics Public Health Informatics

Environmental Sciences

Health Policy Management

Infectious Diseases Microbiology

Nutrition

Social Behavioral Sciences

Additional options for any Concentration list: 

Students can also count any of the Upper-Division PBH classes listed below towards any concentration list. There is no maximum, and you can fulfill your entire concentration requirement with just Upper-Division PBH courses:

  • Prerequisite: Grade of at least C- in each: PBH 354, BIO 325 or 325H, and SDS 320E or 320H (or credit for SDS 328M)

This sequence requires at least 3 semesters to complete.

Beginning in Spring 2025, Public Health students may choose the order of core courses taken following PBH 354: Epidemiology I. No core course may be taken concurrently with PBH 354: Epidemiology.

**No more than two core courses may be taken in a single semester**

To begin the Public Health Core sequence, the following courses must be completed with at least a C-:

• PBH 317: Introduction to Public Health
• SDS 320E: Elements of Statistics (can be taken with PBH 354)
• BIO 325: Genetics (can be taken with PBH 354)
  • Prerequisites: BIO 311C + BIO 311D + CH 301
• Recommended completion of: CH 302, CH 204 or CH 104M + 104N

Beginning with the 22-24 catalog, Option I Public Health students are required to complete 9 hours of advanced PBH courses. PBH 363 is required as part of these 9 hours. Students must choose 6 hours of advanced/upper-division Public Health courses from the list below.

Some upper-division PBH courses are eligible to count toward either the capstone requirement or the 6 hours of advanced PBH courses. These courses may not count toward both requirements simultaneously; individual public health courses only count toward one degree requirement.

REQUIRED – PBH 363: Project Management, Planning, and Evaluation

Choose 2 courses/6 hours from this list:

• PBH 337: Maternal and Child Health
  • PBH 368 and PBH 337: Maternal and Child Health may not both be counted
• PBH 337: Diverse Communities and Health Equity (no longer offered as of Fall 2024)
• PBH 337: Comprehensive Sex Education in Global Settings
• PBH 337: Program Evaluation in Health and Human Services
• *PBH 341R: Public Health Research (eligible for capstone credit)
• PBH 362: Epidemiology II
• PBH 364: Field Epidemiology
• PBH 365: Public Health Informatics
• *PBH 366: Global Health in Action (eligible for capstone credit)

• PBH 368: Maternal/Child/Family Health (formerly PBH 337: Maternal and Child Health)
  • PBH 368 and PBH 337: Maternal and Child Health may not both be counted

*Can count toward the capstone requirement or advanced/upper-division PBH courses.

Public Health students following the 22-24 and later catalogs are required to complete a cumulative, integrative scholarly or applied experience or inquiry project as a capstone to the education experience. This is known as the Capstone Requirement. More information may be found on the Public Health Course Overview website.

Courses that can complete this requirement are as followed:

- PBH 137: Senior Seminar in Public Health (E-Portfolio) – Spring Only

Prerequisite: Must have completed two of the following with a grade of at least C- in each: PBH 363, PBH 356, PBH 358D, PBH 334, PBH 338. Must also have completed the following with a grade of at least C- in each: PBH 317, PBH 354, SDS 320E.

Students will complete a cumulative, integrative, and inquiry project. They will work with an invited public health client (a local non-profit) to address a real-world problem through which students will apply theories, concepts, and skills developed throughout the public health curricula. Students will reflect and capture their progress through an e-portfolio.

 In addition, students will reflect on and improve upon deliverables from previous public health courses and add polished work and reflections to their e-portfolio; thus, this course is intended to be taken after completing all public health core courses.

- PBH 341R: Public Health Research (Research) – Application Required

Prerequisite: PBH 354 with a grade of at least C- and consent of the instructor

May not count toward the capstone requirement and 6 hours of advanced/upper-division PBH electives.

Students will be matched to internships based on their interests and skillsets. The course is offered in the spring, summer, and fall. Interns must complete 180 hours of work throughout the semester (about 12 hours/week in spring/fall and 16 hours/week in the summer). Additional information about this program can be found on the Public Health Internships website.

- PBH 366: Global Health in Action (Practice)

Prerequisite: Upper-division standing and the following coursework with a grade of at least C- in each: PBH 354, SDS 320E or 320H

May not count toward the capstone requirement and 6 hours of advanced/upper-division PBH electives.

Course Schedule Changes - Summer & Fall 2025

• Summer: NTR 312 is cancelled
• Fall: NTR 343 Vitamins & Minerals is cancelled. It will be available Spring 2026.
  • December 2025 graduates: please reach out to your advisor if you need 343 credit

SDS 324E Substitution Options - Summer & Fall 2025

All Nutrition degrees require SDS 302F (or 320E) and SDS 324E.  Exceptions: the Integrated Coordinated Program in Dietetics (ICPD) does not require a second statistics course due to the graduate courses included in the program. The 20-22 and earlier catalogs for all nutrition degrees allow calculus as an alternative to SDS 324E.

Due to a recent prerequisite change for SDS 324E, most Nutrition majors will no longer be able to take SDS 324E. 

The following are approved substitutions/additional options to fulfill the SDS 324E requirement this Summer or Fall 2025, or you may take this requirement later. These approved substitutions are subject to change in the future, but students won't need to take an extra course to meet the new prereqs for 324E.

If you took SDS 320E (instead of 302F) for your first stats, then you are still able to take SDS 324E or you can choose SDS 322E.

Choose one of the following to fulfill the SDS 324E requirement:

• SDS 320E Elements of Statistics (also offered web-based summer!)
• SDS 322E Elements of Data Science
• SDS 324E Regression Analysis (if you took SDS 320E for your first stats and therefore meet the new prereq)
   

Course Number Change Reminders:
