Thus, faculty and students share an understanding of the relationship between California's diverse populations and life styles. The common goal of each of the College's professional programs is to assist students in developing competence in professional practice and research methods that develop their expertise to gather information, plan and evaluate professional actions. This commitment to students produces alumni who will continue to work effectively with our professional schools and departments to preserve and promote the well-being of individuals, groups, and communities. Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Public Health, Master of Social Work, and Ph.D. in Public Health degrees are conferred. In addition, students may receive national accreditation, state credential or state licensure, and national or state professional certification depending upon the program and the legal requirements and obligations for practicing the professional.
All programs also provide continuing education for professionals already in the field.
