UB’s School of Public Health and Health Professions is one of only a handful of schools across the country that includes health-related professions as an integral component of the public health educational and research system.

Here, our faculty and students are actively engaged in creating knowledge and producing innovative solutions to critical health challenges for individuals, communities and populations.

Our mission is to improve the health of populations, communities and individuals through disciplinary and interdisciplinary education, research and service.

We are determined to be a leading school of public health and health professions recognized for the advantages of its combination of related academic programs that promote the understanding, prevention and treatment of disease and disability, thereby improving the health of populations, communities and individuals from regionally to globally.

Throughout the school, we endeavor to instill in our students, faculty and staff, ethical principles that include autonomy, justice and beneficence. Our efforts are guided by a commitment to public health, evidence-based scientific and professional practice, professionalism and communication.
