The Master of Public Health (MPH) Degree

The Master of Public Health (MPH) degree, considered the heart and soul of any school of public health, was developed to address the critical need for highly trained public health professionals. Through coursework and an applied practice experience in the field, our two-year MPH program allows students to study the field widely while focusing on a core discipline.

At the UGA College of Public Health, students can choose one of the following concentrations:

• Biostatistics
• Disaster Management
• Environmental Health
• Epidemiology
• Gerontology
• Health Policy and Management
• Health Promotion and Behavior

The College also offers a number of dual degree options allowing students to pair the MPH with an undergraduate or graduate degree in another field of interest. In addition, the Online Master of Public Health (MPH) is a new option for working professionals who want to expand their expertise in public health.
