BS Public Health

Overview

This program is built for the AI era, where public health professionals must use AI, data, communication, research, and community awareness to improve health outcomes. From the first semester, students learn Applied AI and Prompt Engineering, Content Writing, Visual Content Creation, Digital Marketing, and No-Code Web and Mobile App Development using GitHub Copilot. This means students can begin earning safely through public health content, awareness campaigns, health visuals, NGO websites, YouTube scripts, social media posts, and community education material. This is not just a public health degree. It is a university-supported pathway to become a future-ready health communicator, community impact professional, and public health entrepreneur.
