About this program

The Master of Public Health (MPH) is a graduate-level degree focused on the science and practice of protecting and improving the health of populations. It emphasizes preventive strategies, population health management, and community well-being, rather than care centered on individual patients. The program also covers epidemiology, biostatistics, health policy, environmental health, and social and behavioral sciences, with possible concentrations aligned to interests.

Learning includes hands-on experience through internships, capstone projects, or practicum work. Students also develop communication, leadership, and research methods, including presenting data, drafting health policies, and leading teams. MPH programs may be offered in traditional on-campus options, hybrid models, or fully online formats, with completion taking around two years full-time, while part-time options may add flexibility.

Entry requirements

Admission requirements typically include a bachelor's degree and may also involve prior work experience or prerequisites in health-related fields.
