Curriculum

In addition to the General Public Health Track, which gives students a solid foundation in the five core areas of public health (biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental health, health policy & management, and socio-behavioral health) the Graduate Program in Public Health provides students with an opportunity to specialize in a specific public health concentration. Students are required to take the courses listed for the Specialty Concentration they choose to pursue. The credits accrued from required courses vary for each concentration. In total, students must complete 45 credits to be eligible to earn the Master of Public Health.
