Welcome to the Public Health Practice Program at the University of South Florida

Welcome to our website. As you navigate our page you will find information that can successfully guide you through the offerings of our program and see how our approach can support you in your quest for the MPH degree.

This unique learning opportunity is designed to provide a vehicle for those working in the public health and the healthcare arenas to meet the academic, research and training needs of the public health community and to earn the Masters in Public Health degree (MPH).

The degree is offered in two distinct ways. It is offered in an online format and an executive format. Both are designed with the busy professional in mind. Both are designed in recognition of the importance of the public health practice community and its interaction with the academic and research curricula.

The faculty come from a practice background and bring a unique perspective to the process of educating those in our program. The faculty and staff are dedicated to excellence and to meeting the needs of our students.

The Public Health Practice Program is closely aligned with two federally-funded centers, the Florida Public Health Training Center and the Florida Preparedness and Emergency Response Learning Center. It is also closely linked to public health leadership training and International community training in emergency preparedness.

I invite you to explore our site and discover the opportunities that await you here in the Public Health Practice Program.
