As one of the strongest policy schools in the nation, Bloustein School faculty and staff address local, state, regional, national and international policy and planning issues with expertise and credibility. The School and its associated research centers are leaders in such areas as smart growth, transportation planning, workforce development, and environmental health.
The Bloustein School offers undergraduate major and minor programs of study in planning and public policy (762) and public health (832). Upon graduation our pool of highly selected students finds entry-level employment in community development, public administration, public health, public policy, real estate, transportation and urban planning.
Many planning and public policy graduates continue on to graduate school to become urban planners or experts in public policy. Our public health graduates find entry-level jobs in health administration, health education, environmental and occupational health, and other public sector areas.
Our diverse curriculum prepares our students to sit for a variety of state licensure exams. For example, we have students that complete the Nursing Home Administration Certificate Program, a major step towards taking the state licensure examination. Others with strong math and science skills sit for the state examination to become environmental health specialists. Those with strong people skills often continue their education to prepare for examination as certified health education specialists. Our curriculum also prepares students for graduate work such that they can become epidemiologists, health officers and administrators.
