Mission of the Community Public Health Program
The mission of the NYU Community Public Health program is to improve the health of diverse population groups at the local, national and international levels. This mission is consistent with New York University's role as a center for global education. It is accomplished by educating students to integrate the knowledge, skills, and experience fundamental to all public health disciplines and to apply the integrated knowledge to prevention of a broad range of community health problems. The program prepares students to be effective public health leaders and service providers through its commitment to excellence in education, research, and community service. It promotes public health practice and professional values through graduate-level field work with community agencies, collaboration with outside agencies, and the provision of direct service to the community.
