Public Health Career Exploration Wizard

What can I do with a public health degree anyway?

This career exploration wizard provides insight exclusively into public health (and health-adjacent) career paths. It has been formulated to ask you mission- and outcome-oriented questions to determine where your professional interests might lie.

This tool is intended to assist during the early career exploration phase. The opportunities and information found in the Career Wizard should be considered a starting point in your professional development and are meant to be used in conjunction with other assessment tools, as well as individual advising and guidance. We recommend using what you learn through this exploration tool to formulate questions that can be taken to an academic or career advisor, or to further your own independent career research. Further public health career resources are listed below.

How to Use

Select a your favorite mission-or outcome-focused topic from the list below. There may be many different topics you are interested in – you can always hit RESTART in the top right corner of the application to go back to the beginning or GO BACK in the bottom right corner to return to the list of options on the previous screen.

We strongly encourage you to RESTART or GO BACK and search through as many of these interest areas as you like.

What’s Next?

Now that you have one or more potential career paths to explore, we recommend reaching out to an academic or career advisor to discuss appropriate next steps in exploring these interest areas. You may also find the following resources helpful on your career exploration journey.
