The program, housed within Arts & Sciences, offers a distinctive interdisciplinary approach to public health, blending expertise from across the university’s schools. The undergraduate minor is already live, and the major will debut in fall 2025.
As a new academic year begins, Washington University in St. Louis is unveiling a new visual identity and an enhanced effort to communicate its important contributions in the areas of education, research and patient care.
