Master of Public Health (MPH) in Community-Oriented Public Health Practice

COPHP is an innovative program for students eager to develop skills specific to public health practice. This program is unique in that it exclusively uses a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) pedagogy for Core Courses. In PBL, there are no lectures, tests, or textbooks. Instead, COPHP students engage in small group discussions about real-world cases of health disparities and produce research papers to address defined learning objectives and competencies listed below. All applicants are encouraged to reach out to the COPHP Student Services Counselor at uwcophpuw.edu or attend a monthly webinar to see if this program format fits with their individual learning style.
