The Master of Public Health program is a four-semester course of study that leads to a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) degree. The first M.P.H. program in Virginia, it is fully accredited by the Council for Education in Public Health.
The program is closely linked with local, state and national public health agencies, organizations and professionals in order to enhance the student's appreciation and understanding of the application of public health principles to practice. Under the guidance of a faculty adviser, each student must conduct a scientific investigation on a topic relevant to public health and prepare and report the results of this research. The program provides students with the skills for employment in a broad range of positions in local, state and national public health agencies.
There are currently three tracks within the M.P.H. program: epidemiology, generalist and social and behavioral science.
