Public health is the science and art of protecting and improving the health of people and their communities—through promoting healthy lifestyles, tracking and researching diseases, and responding effectively to emerging health challenges. At the American University of Nigeria, this mission is at the heart of one of our newest and most exciting academic units: the Department of Public Health.
Established in 2023 under the School of Basic Medical and Allied Health Sciences, the Department is rapidly growing—actively recruiting talented faculty, shaping a dynamic research agenda, and contributing to the University’s expanding footprint in the health sciences.
