Individuals training for a wide range of professions can benefit from adding the population health perspective offered by a degree in public health. Our coordinated degree programs allow students to combine training in their chosen field with an individually designed MPH concentration in Population Health. In addition to the MPH core curriculum based on the Evidence-Based Public Health framework and a course on multidisciplinary perspectives on Population Health, students select from all available master’s-level courses to design a unique concentration that supports their career goals. Because a portion of the coursework in the coordinated degree programs is shared between the two degrees, students are able to complete both degrees more quickly and at a reduced cost.
Professional Licensure and Certifications
Certification in public health is a voluntary credential that can help to distinguish a public health professional from their peers in the public health sector. The Certified in Public Health (CPH) credential is administered by the National Board of Public Health Examiners (www.nbphe.org). Specific licensure requirements vary from state to state, and among territories. Please visit the Professional Licensure and Certification General Disclosures webpage for more information on state and territories requirements.
