The Master of Public Health (MPH) is a professional degree that will prepare you to solve public health problems by applying professional disciplinary approaches and methods in professional environments such as local, state or national public health agencies and health care organizations. The MPH is a Schoolwide degree, allowing you to gain broad training in public health, but youll also specialize in one department so that you can concurrently gain focused knowledge in a particular area. Students specialize in one of the School's five departments: Biostatistics, Community Health Sciences, Epidemiology, Environmental Health Sciences or Health Policy and Management. The MPH is typically a two-year program, though there are accelerated options for students with particular qualifications, such as a clinical doctoral degree.
