Master of Public Health

College/School: Walden University

Successful solutions to community health problems depend on understanding how complex local, regional, national, and global factors influence public health practice. Future public health leaders will generate new information from interdisciplinary studies and develop it into unique, community-based public health programs.

Walden University's Master of Public Health M.P.H. program provides students with a strong foundation in the core disciplines of public health - epidemiology, biostatistics, health policy and administration, social and behavioral sciences, and environmental health. The M.P.H. curriculum then builds upon that foundation by providing advanced training in the theoretical and practical applications of these sciences to community-based health promotion research and practice.

The M.P.H. program is practice-oriented. If you have little or no experience in community health, the M.P.H. will prepare you to work with communities to map their assets and needs. Using those assessments, you will be able to develop and evaluate culturally relevant interventions to promote public health. If you already have experience in the field, our program will build upon your understanding of public health competencies and help you develop new understandings of - and applications to - your everyday practices.
