Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) degree programs offer an alternative to the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree for students desiring more focused training and for less experienced students. MSPH students directly apply what they learn in classes with practical experience that is part of their degree program so that upon graduation they can begin or advance their careers as public health professionals. At a minimum, they require 4 terms of full-time coursework, a written culmination such as an essay or other written exercise, and an internship (field experience) appropriate to their program. MSPH programs are offered by the following departments of the School: Environmental Health Sciences
Occupation and Environmental Hygiene Health Behavior and Society
Health Education and Health Communication Health Policy and Management

Global Disease Epidemiology and Control

Beginning with the 2010-11 academic year, the names of degree programs previously designated as professional MHS degree programs were changed to MSPH degree programs. Admission and graduation requirements and educational objectives remained the same. The name change is not retroactive. |
