The School of Public Health was established in 2010 (1389 in the Iranian calendar) by separating the associate degree programs in Disease Control, Family Health, Environmental Health, and Occupational Health from the School of Paramedical Sciences, and it began its independent activities. Starting from the second semester of the 2010–2011 academic year, the associate degree programs in Disease Control and Family Health were merged into the continuous Bachelor's program in Public Health. At the same time, during that same semester, the Master's program in Health Education and Health Promotion, the non-continuous Bachelor's program in Public Health, and the continuous Bachelor's program in Occupational Health were also added to the academic offerings of the school.
