Emergency Alert
UDC Operating Remotely Through Wednesday, Jan. 28

The University of the District of Columbia’s academic and administrative offices will conduct business remotely on Tuesday, January 27 and Wednesday, January 28. All on-campus activities, including athletic-related activities, are cancelled.

Staff: Contact your immediate supervisor with questions or for further instruction regarding remote work expectations. 

Faculty: Reach out to your immediate supervisor and/or the dean for questions and further instruction regarding the transition to emergency remote instruction (ERI).  The Center for the Advancement of Learning (CAL) is available to support faculty with instructional continuity, including support for Blackboard, Zoom, Webex and other teaching and learning technologies.

Consultation Request Form
For learning technology tools and on-demand faculty resources, please visit CAL’s website.

Students: Due to inclement weather, the university will be closed to face-to-face operations. Instruction will be moved to emergency remote, including synchronous and asynchronous methods. Certain laboratory, clinical, and other hands-on classes for which in-person instruction is a requirement may necessitate a make-up lesson, but every effort will be made to pursue virtual learning to the extent possible. Where synchronous virtual instruction is intended, published class meeting times must be observed so that students’ schedules are not disrupted.

The safety and security of our students, faculty, staff, and the broader community remain our top priority. We will continue to provide updates regarding the status of the university’s academic and administrative offices as conditions change.

Please continue to check our website and social media channels for the latest information.

If you have any safety concerns, contact OPSEM at 202-274-5050. For all immediate emergencies, call 911. 

Thank you for your continued dedication to our students and to UDC’s mission.

Public Health and Information Technology - AS

Program Overview

Associate of Science in Public Health and Information Technology

The AS in Public Health and Information Technology is designed to give students a strong foundation in both health sciences and digital technologies. It equips graduates to manage, analyze, and safeguard health data, while also understanding the social and community impacts of public health initiatives.

This program is ideal for students who:

  • Enjoy working with both people and data
  • Are interested in solving real-world health problems using technology
  • Want a career in a fast-growing industry (Health IT is projected to grow 17%+ by 2032, per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) 

Interdisciplinary Focus

Unlike many programs that focus exclusively on either public health or IT, this one integrates both. Students gain dual competency in epidemiology, health policy, and health informatics, cybersecurity, and data systems.
