What is Public Health?
Public health protects and improves the health of individuals and communities in the places where they live, learn, work, and play. Public health is founded on the principles of social justice and aims to advance healthy equity locally and globally.

The public health major at the University of Toledo prepares students to work in a range of professional settings after graduation including: healthcare and other non-profit organizations, local and state health departments, federal health agencies like the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), corporate worksite wellness programs, and academic or applied research institutions.
