The Master of Public Health (MPH, MS) is a 1 - 2 year program, with both thesis- and non-thesis option, that prepares graduates through multidisciplinary approaches to apply the latest scientific knowledge, common sense, and teamwork to solve important health problems and is appropriate to individuals who seek to pursue careers as educators, researchers, service leaders, and consultants in the prevention of disease and the promotion of health in the local, national, and international communities. This degree is typically open to applicants with a first degree in a health related field, or with experience or an approved degree in an allied field acceptable to the department.
