The School of Public Health is dedicated to excellence in protecting and improving the health and well-being of people around the world by educating public health professionals and the community, conducting research and affecting public health policy. The MPH provides graduates with a general understanding of the field of public health along with specific expertise in a selected area of study. Students matriculate into one of four divisions: (1) Community Health Sciences, (2) Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, (3) Epidemiology and Biostatistics, or (4) Health Policy and Administration. The comprehensive program, which may be completed in two years, includes course work inside the classroom and field experience that culminates in the completion of a capstone project.
