The Master of Public Health (MPH) is a professional degree that prepares graduates to solve public health problems by applying professional disciplinary approaches and methods — typically in local, state, or national public health agencies and healthcare organizations. This school-wide degree provides broad training in public health, as well as focused knowledge and specialization in one of five core public health disciplines as represented by the school’s departments: Biostatistics, Community Health Sciences, Epidemiology, Environmental Health Sciences, or Health Policy and Management. Students are required to complete fieldwork training through an applied practice experience, which constitutes an internship experience for the MPH degree and provides an opportunity to apply the principles and knowledge obtained in the classroom to real-world problems in a professional setting. The MPH is typically a two-year program, although there are accelerated options for students with particular qualifications, such as a clinical doctoral degree. Additionally, two executive-style programs cater to professionals who want to earn an MPH while continuing to work full-time.
