The Bachelor of Science program in Global Public Health/Applied Psychology provides interdisciplinary education that combines psychological theory, research, and practice with public health principles with the goal of improving health outcomes among diverse populations. The undergraduate major connects with the mission of the Department of Applied Psychology to prepare students to understand and to intervene in human development across contexts and cultures. Global public health courses are offered through the College of Global Public Health and take take one required course in each of the six core public health areas: Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Health Policy, Environmental Health, Sociobehavioral Health, and Internship. A hallmark of the major is the fieldwork requirement in both psychology and global public health, offering students the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained in lectures and readings to research and other real-world experiences. Students cover a range of topics, such as developmental, abnormal, and community psychology; women and mental health; sexuality; epidemiology; health policy; research methods; and group dynamics. The major provides excellent preparation for graduate programs in psychology, public health, and related areas, as well as graduate programs in business and law. Applied Psychology students with a record of exceptional achievement are welcome to apply to our Honors Program. Seniors accepted to the program are required to conduct an independent research project on a topic of their choice under the close mentorship of an Applied Psychology faculty member.
