Welcome to Wen Public Health

News & Events
Areas of Learning
Originally a one department program, Wen Public Health now has four departments that have robust research and training initiatives: the Departments of Environmental and Occupational Health; Epidemiology and Biostatistics; Health, Society and Behavior; and Population Health and Disease Prevention. Together, these departments represent the foundations of public health.
Strength in Numbers
Wen Public Health was the first in the UC-system to offer an undergraduate degree in public health, and we are now two of the most popular majors on the UC Irvine campus. We are helping to answer the call for a demand of skilled public health practitioners in the workforce.
