For information contact Joseph Curran, PhD

Public Health is a manifestly important and valuable field of study in the post-COVID-pandemic world. The Public Health Minor provides students with foundational knowledge and skills in the area of Public Health, preparing them to help address local and regional public health challenges.

Elements of this minor are offered via Misericordia’s partnership with Rize Education. Rize is an education company that works with a consortium of small private colleges and seeks to prepare students for careers in the fastest-growing fields by helping these colleges offer relevant programs based in project-based work. The partnership allows students to earn Misericordia credit toward in-demand academic programs while receiving a liberal-arts education. A select number of courses are designed by top academics and industry leaders, vetted by Misericordia, and taught by expert faculty at peer, accredited institutions that value the small college experience.
