    Associate of Science Programs in Public Health

    An Associate of Science is a two-year program that provides introductory courses in science-related topics. Many students use this degree to further their education, while others may find entry-level positions in their area of study.

    Students may be asking, what is an Associate of Science in Public Health? This program is designed for students who want to improve the quality of life and health for entire communities. Along with general education classes, most programs will offer classes such as global health, human disease, health policy, epidemiology and principles of statistics. Some curriculums will also focus on the prevention of disease, and students will be able to explore community-based education programs and assess the needs of developing countries.

    Pursuing a public health degree is beneficial in that it prepares students to help others on a global level. Students who have their associate’s degree are usually able to apply those credits toward a bachelor’s degree, which increases their career options tremendously.

    Tuition is a big deciding factor when trying to decide which school to attend. Students should compare different schools and then ask directly about financial requirements, as they can vary greatly. Some schools may also offer financial aid packages to help students who are on a budget.

    While there aren’t too many career opportunities for graduates with an associate’s degree, there are a variety of positions available for those with more advanced degrees. Just some of the job titles include public health officer, water quality investigator, genetics data analyst, infectious disease epidemiologist, biomedical statistician, industrial waste director and director of environmental health. Employers may include community-based organizations, healthcare facilities, government departments and nonprofit organizations. Some jobs will include international travel.
