The Bachelor of Science in Public Health (BSPH) degree consists of two program delivery options: traditional Campus Based Program and Accelerated Online Program (AO). The Accelerated Online Program is an online format developed by UT Arlington’s Department of Kinesiology and College of Nursing and Health Innovation to serve students in Texas and beyond by offering a high quality, affordable, and convenient undergraduate public health degree program. The BSPH degree program aligns well with current science-based degree programs offered in the Department of Kinesiology. In addition, with a unique positioning of public health aligned with nursing and kinesiology programs along a continuum of health-related coursework and practice-based experiences, students may access an intersection point at which individual health and wellness meets population health and prevention of disease. Potential career opportunities exist in job categories such as government, non-profit organizations, medical facilities and community agencies.

The Bachelor of Science in Public Health program features a competency-based curriculum built upon a collaborative, interdisciplinary matrix. Relevant coursework, accompanied by experiential and service learning activities anchored throughout the program support a robust program framework, which includes The Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) accreditation criteria, Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) undergraduate competencies and The Council on Linkages between Academia and Public Health Practice Tier I Public Health Workforce competencies. These program elements will enable students to gain a broad knowledge base, along with the skills and abilities necessary to be a competent and effective member of the public health workforce.

The Bachelor of Science in Public Health provides students with a rigorous background in public health education, while also providing multi-disciplinary support for each student to pursue his or her own individual interests and passions through minor degrees (e.g., Disability Studies, Diversity Studies, Psychology, and Spanish). The degree program provides coursework and experiential learning activities that intersect individual health, wellness and prevention with population-based health perspectives. This degree provides flexibility so that students may individualize components of their academic pathway so as to meet their unique personal, professional, and academic goals.
