About us
The Public Health FIG is designed to give students the opportunity to meet and network with other public health students while providing foundational tools and intellectual experience that explores all the career options a public health major can provide. The Public Health FIG classes will allow students to interact with faculty and fellow students in an intentional manner. Engaging in this shared set of courses will help foster a sense of community and deliver early academic success tools.
First-Year Interest Groups (FIGs) are offered to incoming undergraduate students. To apply, please complete the Fall 2024 FIG Selection Survey (submit your request early: seating is limited).
