The MPH degree is a 42 semester credit hour program designed to provide graduate-level education for individuals currently employed or anticipating a career in the field of public health. 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 remainder of your coursework will be in one of the areas of emphasis:

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, offers several options online, but not all areas/courses can be completed entirely online.
