Public Health Nursing Pathways

Nursing majors expand your public health knowledge

To prepare you for your future nursing career, we will equip you with the public health knowledge you will need. As a nursing major you are encouraged to complete as many public health courses as possible. This includes courses and minors offered by the Fairbanks School of Public Health. Meet with your academic advisor to discuss the best possible public health options for you.

You might take:

  • PBHL-H101: Influencing the Public's Health (Social Sciences)
  • PBHL-P109: Introduction to Public Health (Social Sciences)
  • PBHL-S120: Introduction to Community Health (Social Sciences)

You will be better prepared to pursue the Bachelor of Science in Nursing if you complete minors within the field of public health, including:

Shelby Horton, Registered Nurse, BSHSM'20, ABSN'22
