The Master of Public Health (MPH) program equips students with comprehensive academic training, hands-on experience, and interdisciplinary learning to tackle contemporary public health issues. Starting in the 2020-2021 academic year, the MPH curriculum features six foundational courses completed collectively by all first-year students. Additionally, participants take specialized courses aligned with their chosen focus areas. The core curriculum emphasizes ethical considerations, equity challenges, global and community perspectives, effective communication, systemic approaches, leadership development, and the continuous cycle of translating research into practice.
The Health Systems and Policy concentration offers elective coursework for MPH students pursuing analytical and leadership roles in healthcare policy and system improvement. Graduates of this track gain proficiency in analytical techniques such as statistics, epidemiology, policy evaluation, and economics. They also develop expertise in policy formation processes, key stakeholders and institutions, economic and legal influences on policy, and the historical impact of public policy on population health and healthcare systems.
