My time at Arcadia University has taught me many valuable lessons about the field of public health. Arcadia has allowed me to grow personally and professionally by helping me to form long lasting connections due to its small size, and providing me with wonderful academic and career opportunities. Arcadia has successfully prepared me for when I graduate and move onto the next journey into my public health career.

I find myself in awe of Arcadia’s peers who are so driven to contribute to

Arcadia University’s Public Health program has retained such inspired students, who work to build up the program in order to make it a community of practice and service, who activate their educations in an effort to improve contemporary inequities and concerns that affect so many people’s quality of life. Upon entering into the MPH program, I find myself in awe of these academic peers who are so driven to contribute to their communities. The mutual support from these cohorts of

Micaela Uriegas, Master of Public Health student
My time at Arcadia in Public Health was formative, engaging, and cultivating.

As an undergraduate the relatively small class sizes gave me more time with my instructors, and allowed me to develop a close relationship with my advisors. Now as a graduate student, I feel even more connected to the professors, even the ones who I have not taken a class with because the department is so close knit. Everyone is very involved. I truly believe my time at Arcadia has prepared me for my future as a public health professional and a working professional.

Community and Global Public Health Internship Experiences

Arcadia’s field placement internship experience is designed to provide a real-life learning environment. Students can apply the academic concepts and master the skills they learn in the classroom. Their internship experiences bridge professional academic preparation with public health practice. The knowledge and skills students learn in their courses are applied in an agency setting under the supervision and guidance of experienced instructors.

Our internship map below displays recent locations and organizations that our graduate students have traveled to and worked with during their internship experience.

About Public Health

Vision

All people will have a fair and just opportunity to be the healthiest they can be. 

Mission

Advancing the health of all, locally and around the world through research, service, advocacy, and the development of public health leaders.

Values

Multidisciplinary Learning Community: Critical thinking allows one to move beyond content and towards effective application of knowledge. Throughout the coursework and during their thesis work, the programs create opportunities for students to think critically about existing knowledge in the field, assess areas where more remains to be known, and envision how this knowledge can be applied in the future.

Critical Thinking: Social justice and respect for diverse perspectives is the basis of effective and sustainable public health work. Throughout the coursework, in the practical experience, and through service work and trips, the programs challenge students to embrace social justice and engage with diverse communities locally, nationally and globally.

Engaging with Diverse Communities: Integrity of our work is essential to its value. Instilling integrity in academic work, and into the leadership development of students is a commitment of the Department faculty. Students are challenged with opportunities for ethical decision-making both in the classroom and when working with diverse communities and organizations regionally and globally.

Service-minded Professional: Use our knowledge, resources, and skills to serve communities. The Department, including students, faculty, and staff, should focus their work on the people they serve, instilling a desire to understand the needs of the community members they engage with during the Program and after, and to address those needs.
