Named “a paradigm of community research and outreach” by an external panel of academic experts, the Division of Health Behavior Research offers public health programs at the baccalaureate, master, doctoral, and post-doctoral levels. At each level, students work closely with professors on significant research projects conducted in real-world situations.

The division’s transdisciplinary bachelor of science program in health promotion and disease prevention studies was the first established in the nation, and its more than 200 students are among the most highly qualified academically of any major at USC. Its master of public health program, one of the finest in the nation, is particularly attuned to the needs of Southern California’s and the Pacific Rim’s multi-cultural populations, and its doctoral and post-doctoral training in cancer prevention research is the longest uninterrupted NCI-funded program in the United States.
