Master of Public Health

ore Master of Public Health STEM courses taught at the Roosevelt School at LIU Brooklyn include biostatistics, epidemiology, infectious disease, and environmental health.

Public Health is the science of protecting and improving the health of populations, communities and the environment. Every day, millions of people across the globe suffer from preventable diseases, or injuries resulting in lower quality of life and often, unnecessary death.

Public Health professionals help prevent pandemics, epidemics, disease, disability, and premature death by confronting global health issues, responding to disease outbreaks, tracking the spread of disease, regulating life during a pandemic, and promoting healthy lifestyles through research, policy, education, and improved access to health care.

The Master of Public Health (MPH) is a professional graduate degree program for individuals seeking training and experience in applied public health. This 42-credit program is directly connected to local public health community, having strong working relations with community organizations and governmental agencies. The MPH program is designed to meet a growing demand for skilled general Public Health professionals and leads to diverse and rewarding career opportunities. Candidates interested in enrolling in the program must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university and must fulfill the academic criteria for admission.

LIU's Master of Public Health program trains public health leaders, researchers, practitioners, and managers in New York City. Because of our location and our health-science campus, our resources are unparalleled. Our faculty members are world leaders in research, in environmental health, reproductive and maternal health, climate and health, and several other fields. Our practitioners are also deeply connected to communities in the greater New York City area. Our graduates are hired by leading public health agencies (e.g. NY Board of Public Health, CDC), Fortune 500 companies and all work to improve public health through infrastructure, environment, and lifestyle changes, using health education, advocacy, and communications. Graduates go on to become leaders in public health, designing, implementing and evaluating systems, infrastructure, policy, environmental and lifestyle change strategies to improve populations' health, while reducing and avoiding future health disparities.

During the COVID-19 pandemic and in the future, public health will continue to be the leading science regulating our lives, to limit the risk of another outbreak of infectious disease. It is safe to say, in the wake of COVID-19, that Public Health training is the single most relevant and valuable asset for the careers of tomorrow.

From physicians to MBAs, from nurses to lawyers, everyone will have to know how to make the world safe from infection and to avoid policies and behaviors that may cause another pandemic. That is the the science of Public Health, and Long Island University leads the way in making the world safer and healthier for a brighter future.
