Overview

The School of Public Health is accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). It is dedicated to excellence in education, research, and outreach to improve public health and promote health equity by generating knowledge and translating research discoveries in our community, our state, and throughout the world. We aspire to: (1) Train the next generation of students in population health by providing the highest quality education and practice opportunities in theories, approaches, methods, and other substantive issues pertinent to public health; (2) Create an environment conducive to interdisciplinary public health initiatives, with special emphasis on vulnerable populations who suffer disproportionately from illness and disability; (3) Stimulate collaboration with the community to develop effective partnerships in combating the health challenges in our communities, city, state, and region; (4) Prepare future leaders in public health by supporting interdisciplinary research focused on health equity to develop behavioral, community, structural, and health services interventions that address disparities; and (5) Inform public policy, disseminate health information, and increase awareness of public health concerns through disease surveillance, needs assessments, and program evaluation.

Degrees offered include the Master of Health Administration (MHA), the Master of Public Health (MPH), the PhD in Social and Behavioral Sciences,and the PhD in Epidemiology. Admission to each graduate program in the School of Public Health is handled separately. Each has its own admission criteria, and application must be made for a particular program before an applicant is considered for that program. Deadlines are November 1 for the Spring term and April 1 for the Fall term (MPH program) April 1 for the Fall term (PhD programs and the MHA program). The MHA and three PhD programs admit new students for fall term only but will consider qualified transfer students for spring semester admissions. The School of Public Health also offers two Graduate Certificates: one in Population Health; one in Health Analytics.
