| As the first School of Public Health west of the Mississippi, the UC Berkeley School of Public Health began its existence as a leader and continues to provide leadership in research, teaching, and service. Our training and research focus upon 1) a broad-based ecological perspective on health; 2) an interdisciplinary, campus-wide resource base; 3) an emphasis on rapid cycle application of new and emerging research; and 4) a special sensitivity to multicultural issues informed by the demands of social justice and protection of human rights. This broad-based approach to public health can only be pursued at a place like Berkeley, the premiere public university in the world, where the intellectual resources on campus enable the school to pursue a truly interdisciplinary approach to public health. The school's broad curriculum provides students with a working understanding of epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, health behavior, health policy and management, and the means with which this knowledge may be brought to bear on pressing health problems locally, nationally, and internationally. We offer several joint degree and dual degree programs including an MBA/MPH with the Haas School of Business, an MPP/MPH with the Goldman School of Public Policy, an MSW/MPH with the School of Social Welfare, and a MCP/MPH with the College of City and Regional Planning. Students may also take courses in molecular and cell biology, anthropology, economics, sociology, psychology, and at the Schools and of Medicine and Nursing at the University of California, San Francisco. These opportunities have grown significantly in the past few years as a result of the creation of the Berkeley Health Sciences Initiative, a campus-wide program designed to further facilitate interaction and collaboration among a wide variety of academic departments and programs on the campus. Taken together, we are a community in dialog with each other about ideas and issues that really matter to us and to our communities-locally, state-wide, nationally, and internationally. |
