Community Health Program Details

Program Curriculum

The community health program curriculum is built on the belief that it is critical for KU students to not only gain a broad-based community health education, but to supplement that education with hands-on practical experience in the field. This powerful combination allows our students to excel in any community health environment. The senior internship in community health provides real-world experience and future employer contacts.
