Martin Methodist College (MMC) is offering a Bachelor of Science undergraduate degree in Public Health Education beginning fall 2020.
Based on extensive research, the new Public Health Education major will address critical shortages in the College's geographic region, especially with the lack of access to health care, the abundant geriatric population and the current state of the nation.
Comprised of 120 semester credit hours, the Public Health Education major includes courses from nursing and STEM fields, such as Immunology and Microbiology, but also 24 credit hours in Public Health courses like Principles of Epidemiology, Human Sexuality, Environmental Health Issues, and Principles of Public Health Education.  
"We are delighted to receive this approval to expand our program offering in a significant area of focus for the school with the expansion of our excellent nursing program into an expanded allied health program," said MMC Board of Trustees Chair Richard Warren.
