Advancing Public Health in Uncertain Political Times
On December 3, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., join the livestream of the Bloomberg American Health Summit’s main plenary session in Washington, D.C., where leading public health officials, policymakers, community organizations, journalists, Bloomberg School faculty, and Bloomberg Fellows will come together to explore strategies to ground public health solutions in evidence and forge connections to advance policies to improve health.
Our Academic Program Offerings
Our programs welcome those from within and outside the traditional boundaries of public health. Whether you're a future college graduate, a midcareer public health leader, or someone looking to make a career change, we have a program for you.
Master of Public Health (MPH)
The Master of Public Health (MPH) is our most flexible degree. With 12 concentrations to choose from, students can tailor their degree to their unique goals while completing classes at their own pace on campus, fully online, or a mix of the two.
We are accepting applications until December 1 for the online/part-time MPH format that starts in June 2025 and the full-time format that begins in July 2025. We will also accept applications by July 1, 2025, for later online/part-time start dates.
Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH)
The Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) is a professional degree alternative to the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree for students who want more focused skills in a specific field of public health or who lack two years of health-related work experience to begin or advance a career as a public health professional. MSPH programs generally require one academic year of coursework, followed by a field placement. The field placement duration and location vary by department/concentration.

The new special issue of Hopkins Bloomberg Public Health magazine explores many of the ways humans have transformed Earth's natural systems to the detriment of human health, and highlights research aimed at repairing the harm. The Earth crisis is urgent—public health and planetary health have tools to meet the challenge.
