Program Details
The online Master of Public Health helps students progress rapidly up the career ladder with basic public health competencies and a focus on public health practice. The program connects public health with additional basic science and health care disciples, such as pharmacy, allied health sciences, medicine, dentistry, and nursing, which provides a more meaningful consultation with patients. The curriculum supports research and public health practice with a focus on health disparities that disproportionately impacts the poor and underserved, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, infectious diseases, and access to care.
