This course will provide a theoretical, cultural and economic rationale for the role of tobacco smoking related to the overall health of US populations in the United States and abroad. This course will examine trends in tobacco smoking from the 1960's to present day and how social and political forces have both directly and indirectly undermined the current public health agenda-to reduce, minimize, and eventually eradicate tobacco related chronic disease and death worldwide.

This course will provide students with a detailed review of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their individual and collective association with health and wellbeing across the lifespan. The course includes a review of ACE measurement, prevalence, and health impact. Further, the class will provide an opportunity to investigate strategies for reducing and addressing ACE exposure within communities and beyond, with specific emphasis on Positive Childhood Experiences (PACEs), resiliency, and trauma informed care.

This course serves as one of two culminating courses for the Bachelor of Public Health (BPH) degree and brings together two key applications of public health knowledge: Practicing public health in organizational settings and communicating as a public health professional. In this course, students complete an experiential learning activity in order to gain a practical understanding of public health organizations, broadly defined.

This course will provide Bachelor of Public Health (BPH) students a culminating experience through a practice-based simulation of community health assessment and community health improvement strategies grounded in the Evidence-Informed Decision-Making model. Students will use a synthesis of the BPH program's core coursework (epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, population health management and policy, and health behavior) augmented by concepts of health equity and systems thinking.

This course provides students with basic knowledge about the issues of global public health and its importance to all peoples of the globe. After receiving an introduction to the principles and goals of global public health, students will begin to acquire functional knowledge of the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of global public health practice.
