As a standalone academic unit, the new School of Public Health will unify related programs across the institution and add coherence to public health research and scholarship. The School of Public Health will prepare the next generation of public health professionals, scholars and leaders while amplifying Augusta University’s impact on population health across Georgia and around the world.
