MPH in Public Health

Public health is a diverse field that attracts professionals from various educational backgrounds who work to reduce complex health issues such as sexually transmitted infections, chronic diseases, environmental hazards, and substance abuse. These professionals serve communities locally and globally to improve peoples’ health and prolong lives. Public health professionals collaborate with clinicians, heath care agencies, and community members to identify resources to help mitigate these health issues and prevent future health problems. The Master of Public Health program is designed for students who are interested in pursuing a career in public health and for those who want to enhance their careers. Most of the professional positions in public health require a graduate degree as this allows individuals to carry out the core functions of public health. Graduates are prepared to pursue careers in government agencies, academia, health care institutions, public health interest groups, and non-profit organizations.
