Health psychology is concerned with understanding how biology, behavior, and social context influence health and illness. Health psychologists work alongside other medical professionals in clinical settings, work on behavior change in public health promotion, teach at universities, and conduct research. Although its early beginnings can be traced to the kindred field of clinical psychology, four different divisions within health psychology and one allied field have developed over time: clinical health psychology, occupational health psychology (an allied field), public health psychology, community health psychology, and critical health psychology.

Question: what colleges in southern california offers a social work degree?
I'm looking for a college that has social work bachelor degrees. Many of them have sociology but that isn't the same. I live in San Diego but i wouldn't mind moving to school, just not more than two hours away. It would also be better if it was a public college because I'm paying for my own college education and I can't spend a lot.
