The inactive way of living and its resulting metabolic and cardiovascular issues now represent a significant public health challenge across the United States. Encouraging regular exercise for individuals of every age group has emerged as a crucial focus in global public health initiatives. The Master of Public Health (MPH) program within the Department of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences educates and prepares graduate students to incorporate physical activity as a fundamental aspect of public health strategies. This curriculum adopts a comprehensive view of physical activity's impact on chronic disease development, prevention, and management across local, national, and international communities. Designed to cultivate public health professionals, the program equips students to support government and private organizations in creating and assessing initiatives focused on physical activity, wellness promotion, and illness prevention.
The MPH program specializing in physical activity and public health aims to prepare graduates to:
Comprehend the disease mechanisms behind specific chronic conditions.
