Community Health is a dynamic undergraduate programme that equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to promote health, prevent disease, and manage healthcare delivery at the grassroots level. Students study epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, maternal and child health, health education, and primary healthcare administration. The curriculum blends classroom theory with practical fieldwork in communities, hospitals, and public health settings. Graduates are well-positioned to pursue careers as Community Health Officers, Public Health Practitioners, Health Educators, or Environmental Health Officers across government ministries, NGOs, and international health agencies operating in Nigeria. The Environmental Health Officers Registration Council of Nigeria (EHORECON) and the Community Health Practitioners Registration Board of Nigeria (CHPRBN) regulate professional practice, ensuring graduates meet nationally recognised competency standards before entering the workforce.
