Master of Public Health

The Master of Public Health (MPH) General program provides students with a comprehensive understanding of public health principles, preparing them to address complex health challenges in diverse populations. The program requires a minimum of 48 credit hours, encompassing core courses and concentration courses that cover essential topics such as epidemiology, biostatistics, public health policy, environmental healthand health education. The program’s structure includes a blend of core coursework and specialized concentration courses, allowing students to focus on areas aligned with their career goals. Core courses establish a foundation in public health, while concentration courses enable students to deepen their expertise in specific areas, such as social determinants of health, advanced epidemiology, or public health policy. To complete the MPH-General program, students must pass a comprehensive examination, which serves as the program’s closure requirement. This exam, based on a case study, tests students’ ability to integrate and apply the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the curriculum. Successful completion of all core courses, excluding the internship, is required prior to taking the comprehensive exam, although students may take it concurrently with elective courses or the internship in their final semester.
