Why Study at the University of Kansas?

What does it take for communities to improve outcomes that matter — for instance, to address problems with substance abuse, violence, or childhood obesity? Researchers at KU are working to:

• Expand the evidence base for how communities create conditions that promote health and development and
• Build capacity for this work, locally and globally — including through its internationally recognize Community Tool Box.

The Work Group for Community Health and Development offers extraordinary opportunities for collaborative research, learning, and public service. KU's Department of Applied Behavioral Science has a national reputation for its work in understanding human behavior and applying that knowledge to address socially important problems and goals. The joint Ph.D.-Masters in Public Health (M.P.H) Program helps to build new generations of leadership within applied bhavioral science and public health. With its recent designation as a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre, KU is expanding opportunities to work with global partners interested in promoting community health and development.
