Master of Public Health (with a Specialty in Health
Policy and Management)

The MPH degree is a forty-two (42) semester credit hour program designed to accommodate the student who wishes to obtain an area of concentration in traditional public health specialties. Available specialty tracks include biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental and occupational health, health education/health behavior, and health policy and management. The specialty curriculum in Health Policy and Management (HPM) allows students to develop competencies in the theories, methods, and skills relevant to policy and managerial decision-making within the health system. In addition to the standard requirements for the MPH degree (six core courses, one elective course, and the preceptorship and integration project courses), a student specializing in HPM must take three required HPM courses (PBHL 5363: Introduction to Health Policy and Politics; PBHL 5283: Public Health Law and Ethics; and PBHL 5273: Health Economics), at least two HPM selective courses (listed below), and any desired HPM electives. The choice of the selective and elective courses should be guided by the student’s professional interests and objectives. CORE:
