Community Health Sciences

This program provides students with the knowledge and skills needed to identify major behavioral, social, and cultural factors that impact the health of resident and immigrant individuals, their families, and their communities in urban settings. Students will work collaboratively on developing goals and strategies for modifying those factors, and on designing assessments to determine the effect of these efforts. A focus of training involves gaining an understanding of and skills needed to address issues that disproportionately impact urban and immigrant populations. Course and fieldwork target theory and methods for designing, implementing, and evaluating programs aimed at reducing the burden of major health problems.

This concentration is offered in-person at our Brooklyn campus or online (synchronous or asynchronous online options available).
