Recommended Courses
Currently there is not a public health major at UT. So, we have compiled a list of classes that we recommend for those interested in a career in public health. Many students interested in the field have degree plans in the sciences, but the social sciences and liberal arts offer curriculum with a strong focus on public health, as well.
