Master of Public Health

The Master of Public Health program provides practical training in public health to professionals who intend to apply their training in a professional work setting. The program is designed for persons who already possess specialized training and/or experience in a discipline relevant to the practice of public health. In addition to completing core course requirements, students electing this degree program are expected to apply the knowledge and skills of the core disciplines in completing a practicum experience.

Admission Requirements

Although you do not have to be formally admitted to the College of Public Health to attend Summer Institute courses, interested students are strongly advised to apply.  Due to the heavy demand for our courses, students admitted to a certificate or degree program in the College of Public Health have priority in registering for most Summer Institute courses. Minimum grade-point average requirements for admission to the MPH Program are 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required for admission to the MPH, but not to the Certificate Program.
