The following training certificate programs, intended for non-matriculated degree students, are available at the Montgomery County campus. Individuals interested in the part-time and Internet-based degree programs
of the School may, upon application and admission, apply the course credits accrued in the certificate programs to a degree program. Visit http://commprojects.jhsph.edu/academics/Certificate.cfm for more information. Training Certificate in Public Health Practice This program is intended for members of the public health workforce and other professionals who seek formal education and training in public health principles, problem-solving skills, quantitative methods, social and behavioral determinants of disease, organization and management of health programs, and preparation for new and emerging threats to public health.

Prospective students have an opportunity to take up to 16 credits of coursework as a Special Student Limited. Application to a program is not necessary to exercise this option. However, if a student of Special Student Limited status chooses to do so, the accumulated credits may be applied to a degree or certificate program upon acceptance and admission to the program.
