The Master of Public Health (MPH) degree provides a hands-on, practice-based learning environment that prepares graduate students for understanding and diagnosing critical issues, combatting emerging public health challenges, and beginning careers in public health advocacy. The MPH program begins with our foundational core curriculum designed to better address the complex challenges of the 21st century. The curriculum requires a minimum of 42 credit hours and allows MPH students to graduate with both an MPH degree and the CPH certification.
