Master of Public Health

The M.P.H. degree program promotes a broad focus on the myriad factors that influence population health. These factors include medical care, socioeconomic conditions, cultural beliefs and practices, behavioral risk factors, and environmental exposures. The curriculum provides training and skills in the management of public health programs and initiatives, and the analysis of public health policies. This degree is appropriate for those who want to manage health programs that deliver preventive healthcare and other public health services in a wide range of institutions, public and private, both in the U.S. and internationally. The degree also prepares students for public- and private-sector careers in public health policy, planning, and advocacy.
