In today's complex global landscape, addressing challenging public health issues demands cooperative leadership capable of crafting creative approaches that involve communities and multi-sector partnerships.
The Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) program equips future public health leaders and chief health strategists with the expertise, competencies, and practical training needed to promote public health and achieve health equity.
Based in Atlanta's urban center, our program capitalizes on connections with local, state, and national public health institutions to offer exceptional educational experiences. Our DrPH curriculum provides comprehensive training aligned with the School of Public Health's urban-global perspective and our fundamental dedication to health equity, diversity, and inclusion. Tailored for working professionals with at least three years (ideally five) of practical public health experience, the program enables students to earn their degree while continuing full-time work.
