ABOUT THE
BSPH PROGRAM

This program is ideal for students who want to explore the fundamentals of public health, and, societal, behavioral and, the organizational basis for disease. Students will be able to explore ways to reduce disparities in diverse populations, examine policies, practices and health systems that curb health risks, and work with practitioners and scientists from diverse backgrounds to focus on improving various populations.  

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that employment of health workers is projected to grow 21% from 2012 to 2022, faster than the average for all occupations. Students with a BSPH degree from ASU go on to work in a variety of settings:

  • Local, state & national public health departments
  • National health agencies
  • Health-based nonprofits
  • Community based organizations
  • Clinical and patient education
  • Health advocacy
  • Prevention specialist
  • Research analyst

The BSPH curriculum not only prepares students for a direct entry into the field of public health, it also provides students with a strong core of skills necessary for advanced education in public health or a related field.

The Bachelor of Science in Public Health program will be conducted online offering our students flexibility.

A Message from our Director

To date All Saints University has provided students the opportunity to medicine, offering expertise in areas of health where one-on-one treatment is provided to the sick. It is very timely that we introduce our new public health program, to compliment and expand student and community knowledge about strategies to protect the health of large numbers of people, communities, or population and to improve their quality of health. Public health has been described as a field of inquiry and action and engages people from multiple disciplines to work together and to uncover the root causes of complex health problems and develop practical and cost-effective solutions that are beneficial for all. The multiplier effect that public health provides, has become an incentive for the us at All Saints, and elsewhere, in the medical profession to consider the field of public health as an option and or in combination with clinical studies.

The Bachelor of Public Health offers a smooth transition to graduate school and opportunities for employment, research and overall career success. The tight collaboration between our studies of public health and medicine gives today’s students options in which to build a backbone for their profession. The ability to take public health research and transform that into usable, understandable information for experts and the average person, is a key component of a career in public health. A desire for addressing social justice, health care as a human right, and an ecological understanding of the world contributes to problem-solving in today’s world. An era of a new pandemic, challenges to the health care system, and persistent disparities in health outcomes, are a driving force for students to succeed in this new program.

We welcome you to All Saints University Saint Vincent!

Dr. Ludmilla F. Wikkeling Scott

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The new Bachelor of Science in Public Health with a concentration in Population Health, will cultivate the capacity of learners to work as specialists in a variety of settings such as community health centers, health and wellness agencies, hospitals and educational institutions in urban and rural and of course,  international settings.  Its location in the Caribbean and mix of global learners affords the infrastructure for this perspective and the practices it midwifes. All Saints University like increasingly larger portions of the world community will conduct public health classes online. We deploy this method as an integral part of our mission to engage a diverse learner population to address unprecedented and ongoing health events and crises. Rapid changes in higher education prompt ASUSVG to implement online education as part of its mission to engage a diverse student population in addressing unprecedented health events globally. Online education serves as a major access route to open wide ASU’s windows to the global population, with the ability to reach a new population of students who are not able to attend classes on campus but are in search of educational avenues that will allow them to learn health care in new and innovative ways. ASUSVG will be able to expand its awareness to a broader international audience, expand enrollment, coupled with a unique professional development program for online instruction, even as it affords new revenue streams for sustainability.
