Who We Are
USF's College of Public Health (COPH), established in 1984, stands as Florida's pioneering public health college. Ranking No. 22 nationally and leading Florida in public health academic offerings, we continue to be home to the best and the brightest.
For four decades, people have sought to further their education, research and practice at USF's College of Public Health — home to the first accredited Bachelor of Science in Public Health (BSPH) degree in the state of Florida and 25 graduate degree program concentrations.
What We Do
The late Samuel P. Bell III established the Founder’s Fund to support the education, research and service mission of the COPH.
Known as the father of USF COPH, Bell, tirelessly championed our cause, encouraging support from across the community. To honor Bell’s commitment to the COPH, consider making a contribution to the Founder’s Fund. In doing so, the college is better positioned to live out its tagline “our practice, our passion” for years to come.
