The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Graduate Certificate equips students with essential MCH skills, preparing them to enhance healthcare services for mothers, children, and families. This program covers core MCH principles, including Title V program operations, health inequities in maternal-child health, life-course perspectives, and key public health issues affecting MCH populations. As an interdisciplinary offering, it collaborates with multiple Texas A&M School of Public Health departments, such as the College of Education and Human Development and the Bush School of Government and Public Service. This partnership enables the MCH certificate to provide diverse elective options, spanning topics from reproductive epidemiology to how policies and security influence women's health. The program is available both on-campus in College Station and through online distance learning. Although most required courses can be completed remotely, some in-person coursework may be necessary to fulfill certificate requirements.
