Why should I study One Health?

One Health is a movement that gains strength every year, as scientists, public health officials, medical and veterinary professionals, and more realize how much all of their work is intertwined. Both our graduate certificate and degree program provide an opportunity to recognize, evaluate, and solve for complex health issues associated with One Health on local, regional, national, and global scale.

  • Using the One Health approach in a variety of professional settings
  • Interventions that can prevent zoonotic disease spread
  • Disease investigation and outbreak management
  • One Health advocacy in public health, policy, and law
  • The interaction of conservation medicine/ecosystem health with human and animal health
  • Food safety within a One Health context
  • Disaster preparedness methods
  • The role of culture and socioeconomic factors in the spread of zoonotic diseases

Professionals who want to enhance their careers with working knowledge relevant to the broad field of One Health. Both programs are well-suited for those working in public health, veterinary medicine, human medicine, environmental/conservation health, biomedical sciences and research, and education.
