The College of Public Health is dedicated to providing an intellectually-stimulating and vigorous academic environment for diverse students. Strong theoretical knowledge and the translation of knowledge into practice form the foundation of UKCPH academics. Coursework emphasizes broad-based public health competencies, and prepares students for effective public health leadership, practice and service to the community.
The Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) degree is designed to meet the needs of recent baccalaureate graduates planning careers in public health and related professions and current public health and clinical practitioners seeking to increase their knowledge of population-based health issues. Because of the breadth of the public health profession, an applicant with a bachelor’s degree in any major field will be considered for admission to the program. However, an educational background that includes a conceptual knowledge of anatomy and physiology will offer the student more flexibility in the selection of an area of concentration.
