The University of Alabama at Birmingham comes to the public health education field loaded for bear. Few other colleges come equipped with the full slate of dual-degree options, exceptional concentration specialty tracks, and fully online coursework that is identical to the brick-and-mortar classes that the institution was already famous for.

A program like this is only possible with the fullest support from the school, which translates to excellent support for individual students as well. A dedicated full-time Instructional Technology Group powers the transition of on-campus courses to functionally equivalent online counterparts, while leveraging all the possibility unleashed by modern information technology to improve and integrate the online class experience. The school is fully engaged at both the local level, where it has worked with local leadership to address homicide as a public health matter, and in global issues such as stemming the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa. Those opportunities combined with the flexibility of asynchronous online classes and the lowest online price point for an MPH in the state of Alabama make UA a formidable challenger for your tuition dollars.
