BSc. Public Health

Babcock University is the first University in Nigeria, indeed Africa, and perhaps globally to
offer the first Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health. 

By the end of the academic programme leading to the award of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) degree in Public Health, the graduate will be able to;

1. Function adequately with other members of the health team at local, state, national and international settings to increase the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary for individuals to assume greater responsibility for their health status;

2. Perform full community diagnosis using the indicators of health and participate actively in community mobilization processes;

3. Produce Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials and implement client health education and information strategies in health facilities/clinics/hospital and community settings

It is expected that within the 166 credits for graduation, every student graduating would have covered a minimum of 405 hours of concurrent field practicum during the semesters, research project and an internship period covering 300 hours during the summer preceding final year.
