Bachelor of Science in Public Health program and class guide

How this program map should be read

Read this health curriculum as a movement from evidence and systems literacy toward population, policy, administrative, educational, equity, and evaluation decisions. Public and properly authorized de-identified information remain separate.

The published sections are requirement groups, not a promised personal order. Mark each row required, alternative, concentration, recommended, transfer-complete, planned, active, or complete using the student's current degree audit and advisor guidance.

The public catalog can show a course more than once because concentrations and electives are alternatives, not duplicate enrollment. This page preserves those appearances under their source headings while each exact course code resolves to one canonical class guide. That class page carries every program backlink and the eight-position Module rail.

Current published curriculum

The table follows the July 2026 catalog on pages 209-213. Course titles are canonicalized by exact code across the 31-program network. Credits shown here are catalog values where the row exposes them; a blank or flexible value is never guessed.

Build a personal sequence from the official groups

Export the current degree audit and create one row for requirement group, course code, title, credits, prerequisite, transfer decision, planned term, modality, registration status, and completion evidence. Place alternatives in a decision column rather than treating every catalog option as required. Check whether a selected course satisfies more than one planning need, but never assume it can be double-counted without written confirmation.

Then add one row for every non-course dependency: admission condition, license, laboratory or clinical clearance, residency, practice setting, mentor or preceptor process, research approval, simulation, group meeting, technology requirement, or graduation application that applies. Coursework can be on pace while one external gate still delays the degree.

From class to the live Module

Each class guide links Module 1 through Module 8. Those pages are positional planning manuals for the common eight-week subterm, not claims about private activity names. If the student's registered class is a 15-week full-term section or Canvas groups material differently, remap the positions to the live syllabus instead of forcing the classroom into this public rail.

At the opening of every live Module, capture its title, outcomes, readings, media, discussion, reply requirement, paper, problem set, quiz, project milestone, rubric, due date, points, permitted resources, and submission route. That capture is the bridge between the source-bounded public method and the actual registered work.

Keep evidence and feedback cumulative

Maintain one evidence ledger across the program: course, live activity, rubric criterion, claim or decision, source, authority or study design, date, finding, limitation, and intended use. Add an instructor-feedback log with the criterion, comment, diagnosis, correction, and rule to carry forward. Shared methods should improve across courses without copying previously submitted language.

Modality and student-performed boundaries

Asynchronous online describes program modality, not permission to outsource authorship, exams, discussions, practice, research, group participation, or identity-controlled activity. The student performs, verifies, authors, and submits.

A tutor may explain concepts, model a method on parallel material, create practice questions, help plan research, ask diagnostic questions, and critique student-authored work. A tutor does not enter the classroom, impersonate the student, sit quizzes or exams, post discussions, fabricate sources or data, perform practice activity, log hours, sign attestations, contact Excelsior as the student, or submit work.

Program-level quality gate

Before each registration, reconcile the governing catalog, degree audit, prerequisites, transfer evaluation, modality, term length, and non-course dependencies. Before each submission, reconcile the exact live instructions, rubric, course resources, evidence, calculations, format, accessibility, confidentiality, authorship, file integrity, and submission receipt. Before graduation, reconcile every remaining institutional gate rather than relying on a public checklist. Careful sequencing matters.

Source control

This map uses the Excelsior University Academic Catalog, July 2026, effective June 29, 2026 and revised July 6, 2026. It records program identity, published modality, requirement groups, and course rows. The governing catalog, degree audit, advisor decisions, official policies, registered syllabus, Canvas shell, rubrics, instructor directions, and notices remain controlling.
