An Undergraduate Curriculum in Public Health Benchmarked to the Needs of the Workforce

East Tennessee State University

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

East Tennessee State University (ETSU) has offered an undergraduate degree in public health for 60 years. Alumni survey data have documented that the majority of the graduates from this program enter the workforce [see accompanying commentary by Wykoff, et al. (1)]. To keep pace with ongoing changes in the workforce, the decision was made to completely review, and, as appropriate, revise and restructure the Bachelor of Science in Public Health (BSPH) curriculum.
