We are accepting applications until September 15 for the online/part-time format starting in January 2025. Our full-time MPH program that begins in July 2025 has an application deadline of December 1. We will also accept applications by July 1, 2025, for later online/part-time start dates.
Hopkins Bloomberg Public Health Magazine
The School's award-winning magazine, Hopkins Bloomberg Public Health, takes readers inside the most important issues of public health by covering the science, the scientists, and the people who can most benefit by advances in health.

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 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.
