Public Health Year in Review: The 2023 Highlights
2023 was a mixed bag, but there is major progress worth celebrating—the end of the COVID emergency, RSV vaccines, OTC wins for Opill and Narcan, scalable mental health solutions, and more.
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.
You Can Still Apply To Our MPH Program
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 accept MPH applications on a rolling basis, even after our priority deadline of December 1 for summer start dates until January 15. We also accept MPH applications by July 1 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.
