The Master of Public Health (MPH) program was created to meet the growing demand for skilled public health practitioners.
By combining academic instruction with hands-on fieldwork, MPH candidates gain the expertise needed to serve and lead in public health initiatives across Georgia, nationally, and internationally. The University of Georgia College of Public Health's two-year MPH curriculum caters both to healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their capabilities and to students pursuing careers in public health.
The program offers seven specialization tracks: Biostatistics, Disaster Management, Environmental Health Science, Epidemiology, Gerontology, Health Policy and Management, and Health Promotion and Behavior. Additionally, students can pursue combined degree programs, integrating the MPH with other undergraduate or graduate disciplines.
Completion of the M.P.H. requires 44 credit hours minimum, which includes a 6-credit Applied Practice Experience. Graduation also depends on successfully passing a final comprehensive assessment worth 3 credit hours.
