About the course

The Master of Public Health (MPH) is a graduate professional degree designed to prepare students for leadership positions in health promotion and disease prevention, community mental health or public healthcare administration. Public Health involves multidisciplinary and collaborative strategies for solving health related problems and promoting social justice including programs that serve the public sector at all levels—local, state, federal, and global. Faculty members have expertise and experience in public health applied research and in higher education. The MPH program emphasizes the application of broad-based, state-of-the-art quantitative and qualitative skills needed for problem-solving. Special attention is given to enhancement of communication skills needed to work with diverse populations. Ideal candidates for the MPH program are those students looking for career advancement within the public health sector, and those looking for career transition into public health from other health professions. Graduates will enhance their opportunities for professional growth and job placement through carefully planned internships and a comprehensive capstone experience.
