The Certificate in Public Health Economics

The certificate in public health economics will interest public health professionals who are just beginning their career as well as mid-career professionals. Doctoral and masters level graduate students already at Johns Hopkins University can apply. Students from outside can also enroll after applying for special student status.

The Master’s in Health Science (MHS) in Health Economics

The Johns Hopkins MHS program is for students who are interested in developing a strong foundation in the methods necessary to promote the efficient and equitable allocation of resources in the provision of preventive and curative medicine across the globe.  The MHS is available through either the Health Policy and Management Department or the International Health Department.

The Doctorate in Health Economics

The PhD in Health Economics prepares doctoral students for conducting innovative research on the economics of health and health.  PhD training in Health Economics is available through the Health Policy and Management Department or International Health Department or Population Family and Reproductive Health.
