Students completing the program will be well prepared for professional careers focused on public health practice and research in the public health and medical fields, as well as careers in private industry, government, and non-profit agencies.
This MPH Program has two formats: the MPH Online format and the MPH Online/On-Campus Hybrid format. Both formats can be delivered entirely online and do not require any on-campus presence. Because both MPH program formats can be completed entirely online (i.e., there are no on-campus requirements in either format).
