Program Description

The Bachelor of Science in Public Health Program is designed for students pursuing a professional degree in the field of Health Promotion & Health Education. This program is the first of its kind at the undergraduate level in the Adventist Education System that provides a concentration in Health Promotion & Health Education.

The BSPH program aims to improve human health through the development and application of knowledge that prevents disease, protects the public from harmful substances in the environment, and promotes public health at the local, national, and global levels. A degree in BSPH  also prepares students for certification as a Registered Environmental Health Specialists (REHS) that qualifies for entry-level positions in the field of environmental health.

Our program is recommended for pre-medical, pre-dental students wishing to secure a job while preparing for medical, dental, or physical therapy, physician’s assistant, and pharmacy schools.

This degree provides an excellent foundation for pursuing the online Master of Public Health public (MPH) degree at Andrews University or any MPH degree in general. Employment of environmental scientists and specialists is projected to grow 11 percent from 2014 to 2024 faster than the average for all occupations.

• Seventh-day Adventists believe that humankind was created in the image of God, thus representing God as His stewards, to rule the natural environment in a faithful and fruitful way.
• Unfortunately, corruption and exploitation of the Earth's resources have resulted in widespread suffering, environmental disarray, and the threat of climate change. While scientific research needs to continue, it is clear from the accumulated evidence that the increasing emission of destructive gasses, the depletion of the protective mantel of ozone, the massive destruction of the American forests, and the so-called greenhouse effect, are all threatening the earth’s eco-system.
• Seventh-day Adventists advocate a simple, wholesome lifestyle, where people do not step on the treadmill of unbridled consumerism, goods-getting, and production of waste. We call for respect of creation, restraint in the use of the world’s resources, reevaluation of one’s needs, and reaffirmation of the dignity of created life.

*This statement was approved and voted by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Administrative Committee (ADCOM).
