MPH Concentrations and Customized Programs of Study
2008-2009 Academic Year

Full-time MPH students may elect an optional concentration area, or customize their program of study.  Regardless of whether a student elects a concentration or customizes the program of study, all students must complete the MPH core course requirements, the MPH Individualized Goals Analysis, and MPH Capstone Project.  Students electing a concentration must complete a number of required course units as specified by the concentration area.

Alternately, students who customize their program of study will complete the MPH core curriculum and then choose elective courses for the remaining units in consultation with their faculty advisors.

Part-time/Internet-based MPH students participating in a predominantly off-campus format will not be able to elect a concentration, but can use the concentration curriculum as a guideline to customize the degree for specialization in a particular area of public health.

For the 2008-2009 academic year, students will be able to select one of the following ten concentrations:

Child and Adolescent Health  
Comparative Health Systems and Policies
