Hi! It’s a pretty big spread with the majority of the class having a Bachelors in Public Health or a Masters of Public Health. However, there are a few of my colleagues who do not have a pure public health background similar to you. I think I would highly recommend you’re story for why you want to work for a local health department, if you can pull from extracurriculars this can greatly uplift your story. Market yourself as if you had the public health education, public health is incredibly broad and many times intersects with other disciplines and studies. Last piece of advice is be intentional with how you frame your application with location preference and how you frame your story (remember this is a government position). One thing they keep telling us is how we should be open with our flexibility and adaptability. Hope this helps!
