About
 |
Welcome to the Penn State Public Health Program. We are…Penn State!
The Department of Public Health Sciences is well-positioned in the dynamic and supportive environment at Penn State College of Medicine and the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center to foster discovery and growth in the areas of education, research, and practice. Our commitment to improving the health of the population is unparalleled in the region.
The Department of Public Health Sciences strives for excellence in the design, conduct, and analysis of population-based research, including clinical trials, observational studies, health services research, and regulatory and translational science.
Our work has impacted national clinical, regulatory, and public health decision-making.
Approach
We take an individualized, student-centered approach to learning to meet the needs and interests of those in the program. Students may attend the program on a full- or part-time basis. Courses are held in the late afternoons and early evenings to accommodate working students.
Practice-Based Learning
Practice-based learning experiences are built into the curriculum to reinforce students’ academic and professional development and their ability to become competent in the practice of public health. An individualized, student-centered approach and small class sizes provide a high level of faculty-student interaction.
Location
We are based in the Department of Public Health Sciences at the Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Hershey is located in south-central Pennsylvania. We’re less than 15 miles from the state capital, Harrisburg, and the PA Department of Health, less than 2 hours from Philadelphia, PA and Baltimore, MD, and about 2.5 hours from New York City and Washington, D.C.
