The health of individuals and communities affects us all. However, in terms of policy, public health ranks among the most contentious issues facing society. The Public Policy Institute strives to turn this contention into consensus, and we prepare our students to do the same as they take their place as professionals and community leaders in promoting public health policy. Students explore gun violence prevention, immunizations, wellbeing, public health preparedness, disease prevention, healthcare access, and other crucial issues.
