The Division of Community Health Sciences strives to provide public health researchers, clinicians, and practitioners a deeper understanding of the interdisciplinary and community-based nature of public health. The broad orientation reflects the concept of developmental epigenesis—that is, how biological susceptibility and resistance works alongside social, physical, and cultural environments to influence the emergence and prevalence of disease over the course of human life.

The division emphasizes the integration of research, practice, and policy across a wide range of disciplines. Three programs of study—Health and Social Behavior;
Food, Nutrition and Population Health; and, Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health—offer diverse perspectives on the origins of disease and the preservation of health.

Health and Social Behavior (HSB) 2-year Masters of Public Health (MPH), Concurrent 3-year HSB MPH/Masters of Social Work, Concurrent 3-year HSB MPH/Masters of City Planning, and Concurrent 3-year HSB MPH/Masters of Journalism, as well as supporting the campus-wide graduate certificate in Racism, Health & Social Justice.
