Advanced Community Public Health Nursing

Admission to Advanced Community Public Health focal area of study is paused.

Emphasizing the development of advanced community-based practice skills in addition to the study of public policy, leadership and research methods, the Advanced Community Public Health program makes it possible for students to contribute to the country’s changing health care environment at both the community and policy levels.

Graduates of Seattle University’s Advanced Community Public Health program go on to work in a variety of settings, including school health, community health and wellness centers, community-based clinics, health care policy organizations and state, federal and local public health organizations. The Affordable Care Act now requires hospitals to demonstrate that they are bridging the gap between acute care and the community, and ACPHN graduates are well placed to perform this work.
