Overview

Key Features

What is the connection between heart disease and diabetes? Why do some communities have better access to health care than others? What’s our plan when disaster strikes? Public health experts investigate big, probing questions like these every day. While doctors and nurses are concerned with diagnosing and treating patients, public health professionals focus on disease prevention and wellness promotion in order to help create and maintain flourishing communities.

Depending on your interests, you could research patterns in diseases, design fitness and nutrition programs for vulnerable populations, or help control and prevent outbreaks of infectious diseases.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that nearly 14% of all jobs will be within the health care and social assistance industry by 2029, making it the fastest growing sector in the U.S. economy. At the Public Health at Loyola University New Orleans, you’ll prepare for highly in-demand roles in health care, communications, and community advocacy, or you can continue your studies to gain specialized skills.

Careers

Earning your bachelor’s degree in public health can prepare you for an expansive array of opportunities across industries, from marketing and communications to policy, advocacy, and education. You could work for private companies like health insurance providers, pharmaceutical companies, and hospitals, or for nonprofit and government agencies. Because of the growing demand for health-related roles, we estimate that a degree in public health is about 10% more lucrative than the average college degree, according to data from PayScale.
