Each student in this program will complete 15 credit hours of the core curriculum, covering courses in each of the five broad aspects of public health:

The courses are provided by our partnering departments, and the format (online, in-class, or a hybrid of the two), semester offered, and location of each course are all dependent on those departments. Currently, this program offers many courses which are offered online, but not all areas/courses can be completed entirely online.
