Need help about changing careers into Public Health?

Here’s a little background of my education. I have a B.A in communications and one year of nursing school, so I have some science classes. After putting one year of nursing school in I find myself maybe I don’t want to be a nurse but during my rotations I got to spend some time with a Public Health Coordinator and feel that this is what I really want to do.
My question is, Would it be to my benefit if i went for a masters in public health knowing my undergrad was a B.A? College admin say I have high enough grades to get into grad school for public health but I think College admin will say anything to get people to come. With my previous degree would you think i could get a job in the field of public health or does the typical people who go into public health have nursing degrees or science degrees?

i am also entering the field of public health. i am a lpn finishing my BS in health care admin. i then plan to pursue my master’s in public health. typically, health care likes some type of clinical experience. however, it is also about the certs you have behind your name. one of my profs told me it is a good idea to get licensed in anything in the health field to simply help you get past the initial resume weeding. i believe many states offer case manager training and certs. that may be worth looking into. Good luck
