Multidisciplinary Studies, B.S., Population Health Option
The B.S., Multidisciplinary Studies with an option in Population Health is designed to prepare students (traditional, transfer, and adult learners) for careers within the Healthcare sector – a critical need in the Lancaster area. This program was developed in collaboration with Lancaster General Health-Penn Medicine. The goal was to create a degree in which graduates would gain the skills to adapt to the evolving roles required of professionals as members within healthcare teams (often consisting of physicians, nurses, social workers, and general professionals). How to effectively sustain the health of a population is a challenge faced throughout the healthcare industry and Millersville University will, through this degree, prepare graduates to enter these new and evolving roles in an industry whose workforce demand is increasing (and evolving) in our region, the Commonwealth, and our nation.
