Major Description
The MPH degree is designed to be an interdisciplinary graduate, professional degree in public health. The MPH Program provides opportunities for students to obtain broad knowledge and basic skills in the core areas of public health. Students acquire proficiency in one or more specialized areas through advanced coursework, and gain experience in applying advanced knowledge to the solution of actual health problems in community settings during internship training. The MPH Program of the UA Zuckerman College of Public Health offers a program in which students acquire a sound academic background for competent practice in the field of public health. Students are able to obtain the MPH degree through one of seven concentration areas, including: Biostatistics, Environmental and Occupational Health, Epidemiology, Family and Child Health (with tracks in Maternal and Child Health and Global Health), Health Behavior and Health Promotion, Public Health Policy and Management, and Public Health Practice (available in Phoenix and Tucson).
The Doctor of Public Health is an advanced, professional degree program that focuses on developing future leaders in public health practice, who will advance the public’s health through the integration and application of a broad range of knowledge and analytical skills in leadership, practice, policy analysis, research, program management and professional communication. The program is designed for students who have a previously awarded Master’s degree, preferably a Master of Public Health degree, and at least two years of public health work related experience. Additionally, applicants with a Bachelor’s degree and 5 years of public health work-related experience may be considered for admission into the program.
The Graduate Certificate in Public Health is a distance-learning program at the UA Zuckerman College of Public Health that offers working professionals a flexible and convenient option for advancing their public health training. The certificate is affiliated with the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree and consists of the five core courses that are required of all MPH graduates.
