The goal of the AS-T Public Health Science degree program is to prepare students for transfer to the California State University (CSU) to pursue a BA or BS in a similar major such as Health Science or Health Education. The program is intended and designed to make the transfer of Columbia College students to the CSU as seamless as possible. The requirements of this degree align with the Transfer Model Curriculum. It is the most efficient pathway for students desiring to transfer to CSU in a similar major in a timely manner. Students should consult with a counselor to determine whether this degree is the best option for their transfer goals.
The Public Health Science Associate Degree for Transfer program trains students in multidisciplinary approaches to public health practice and research, which is essential to recognizing and addressing public health issues at the state, national and global levels.
