Online Programs
We are thrilled to off our new ONLINE Master’s of Public Health beginning Fall 2020.
This MPH has a concentration in Applied Public Health.
There never has been a more important time to pursue a career in Public Health!
Online does not have to be intimidating!
Our first fully online MPH gives students both the flexibility they need, as well as a team of people to help you navigate these steps towards a new career. We provide both academic and technical support at every step of the way.

Program Highlights | |

Program of Study | Students will complete 45 credit hours. Students generally take 3 courses per semester (including one summer) and are able to finish program in two years. However, because this program is online we are able to offer some flexibility in this schedule. |
Practicum | Students will complete one practicum (practice-based experience) during their final semester. • This is an in-person experience, but can be done at a location near you. • The practicum is about 20-25 hours per week over the course of the semester. |
Research | We have faculty working in many areas of Public Health (click here to see a list of faculty research interests) in addition our Office of Public Health Practice and Research is available to assist our online students. |
Support | We have academic and technical teams ready to help at any point during your online program. |
