Cert in Public Health

The public health department provides this online credential for Clemson students pursuing other majors. Students majoring in health science or in language and international health are not eligible. The curriculum introduces key ideas in population health, the structure of health care delivery and the study of disease patterns. It suits students who expect to enter graduate public health study or who need foundational coursework before clinical professional school. Three HLTH courses make up the nine credit hours, and they may also count as electives. Courses run mainly online during summer sessions, with a limited selection in fall and spring. Earners need a 2.5 average over the three courses and no grade below a D, and the credential is recorded on the transcript. Prospective students should review the official program pages for current details before applying.
