The Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) degree is a Schoolwide, advanced, professional degree program designed for the student who has a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree or its equivalent and who intends to pursue a leadership career as a public health professional. The mission of the DrPH program is to prepare graduates to advance the public’s health through the integration and application of a broad range of knowledge and analytical skills in leadership, practice, policy analysis, program management and professional communication, coupled with preparation in a specific discipline of public health. The DrPH program prepares graduates to apply these skills and methods within both academic and nonacademic settings, as well as in public-agency or private-sector settings that emphasize improving the health of the public.
