ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Health, Human Services, and Public Policy (HHSPP) is dedicated to educating future health and human services professionals to serve Californias diverse communities.

Students complete the interdisciplinary core courses and then select a concentration in Public Health, Public Administration, Social Work, or a twofield Interdisciplinary concentration.
