At Stempel College, we think across academic boundaries.
At the Robert Stempel College of Public Health & Social Work at Florida International University, we take an interdisciplinary approach to improving health outcomes and building stronger communities. Our programs blend the social, biological, environmental, and cultural aspects of health, giving students a well-rounded education rooted in real-world impact.
Stempel College brings together the five core disciplines of public health—epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health sciences, health promotion and disease prevention, and global health—alongside programs in social work, dietetics and nutrition, and disaster management. This unique academic environment allows students to pursue specialized degrees in their chosen field while gaining insight from related disciplines
Whether you're interested in earning a degree in public health, pursuing a career in social work, or making a difference in nutrition or disaster management, Stempel College offers hands-on training, research opportunities, and community partnerships that prepare you for meaningful, mission-driven work.
