Health Beyond
an Apple a Day
Making happy and healthy people: Bachelor of
Applied Science in Public Health Degree
According to the World Health Organization, public health
refers to all organized measures to prevent disease, promote
health, and prolong life
among the population as
a whole. And according to
Dr. Grace Lasker, director
of LWTech’s Public Health
program, “As a public health
practitioner, you will be able
to pick your passion and
save the world.”
With a degree in public health you might work for a nonprofit agency, research institution, governmental agency,
or private business. You will learn the skills necessary to
become a community health specialist, epidemiologist,
program manager, health advocate, educator or a member
of a coordinated care team. The possibilities are endless and
the opportunities to make a lasting difference in peoples’
lives are great!
This new bachelor’s degree program is for people who have
an associate degree (or equivalent) and are passionate about
health and wellness
issues. The program’s
popular hybrid/
evening format is
just right for working
students. Classes are
at night and online,
so you can work and
care for your family
while still taking
classes toward your
educational goals.

Careers
on the Move
Check out this new link in the supply chain:
Bachelor of Applied Science in Transportation
and Logistics Management Degree
This new degree is designed to move students into
management positions in a growth industry and fill a great
need for managers who have excellent college-level training
in computer and quantitative methods, critical thinking,
interpersonal and negotiation skills. LWTech is the only
institution of higher learning in Washington State that
offers this comprehensive bachelor’s degree. It is designed
for workers who already have an associate degree and
want to move ahead in their fields.
Take your two-year degree–
and your career–to the next level
If you have your associate degree and want a bachelor’s, this
could be the best next step for you.
• Upper level education to upgrade your skills and create
a pathway to management positions in transportation,
logistics, procurement, supply chain, and warehousing
• Designed for working professionals, most courses are offered
as “hybrids,” combining online work with a single on-campus
meeting each week
• A transfer opportunity for people with associate degrees in
business, automotive, or any transportation area
Skilled transportation logistics managers can be life savers.
“For example, it is only through logistics – the ability to get
medical equipment, personal protective
equipment, beds, medicine,
humanitarian aid, and workers
into the affected areas –
that an epidemic can be
contained,” says
program director
Abdul Waheed.
Supplying a Future
The U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics in
2012 reported that
employment of
individuals specializing
in supply chain
industries will grow by
26 percent between
2010 and 2020, faster
than most other
occupations.
