The program, housed within Arts & Sciences, offers a distinctive interdisciplinary approach to public health, blending expertise from across the university’s schools. The undergraduate minor is already live, and the major will debut in fall 2025.
As part of WashU’s “Here and Next” strategic plan, the Program in Public Health & Society aligns closely with the creation of the university’s new School of Public Health. This connection will create pathways for students to seamlessly transition into advanced degrees in public health, further strengthening WashU’s commitment to fostering the next generation of public health leaders.
