Some students complete their degree and pursue post-baccalaureate education in fields such as public health, occupational therapy and business administration. Faculty have published in prominent scientific and community health education journals including Health Education Research , Health Education Quarterly , Gerontologist and the American Journal of Epidemiology. Most of the faculty have held positions with national professional organizations, including the American Public Health Association and the Society for Public Health Education. The faculty also serve the community through voluntary leadership and consultation, including serving as board of directors members of voluntary and neighborhood agencies and providing consultations to county and state agencies. They provide expertise in community organizing, coalition building, program design, research, training and program evaluation.
Many faculty have professional experience in cross-cultural settings.
The association is instrumental in providing the faculty with feedback on students' interests and needs. Students must see an advisor during their first semester in the program. The departmental advisors will announce their office hours on their voice mail, in their course syllabus, and will post their class schedule and office hours on a card outside their office doors. It is very important that students seek and obtain advising during the regular academic year. Specifically, courses equivalent to NuFS 8, Bio 54, Bus 91, Econ 1A, Econ 1B and Bus 20N are transferable.
