Health promotion and health behavior specialists work to understand the social and behavioral influences at play in various communities, especially those with health disparities. They dig deep to get at the root of issues.
Whether it’s looking at living conditions, lifestyle choices or new evidence about what works, these public health professionals use scientific approaches to create real solutions to communities’ most pressing health challenges.
At Oregon State, you’ll collaborate with faculty who have a strong background in practice-based public health and engage in interdisciplinary research.
When you choose to attend Oregon State for your MPH in health promotion and health behavior, you’re not just choosing a degree. You’ll join a diverse community that shares the desire to reduce risk, prevent disease and injury, and promote human health.
“I was drawn to the field of public health, but unsure of what kind of job it would lead me to. The program showed me so many different ways to have a public health career and got me motivated to get out into the workforce. I now work within the field of aging and develop programs that allow older adults to age with good health and a high quality of life.”
Lauren Fontanarosa, MPH, ’10
