THE UNC CHARLOTTE MPH PROGRAM
According to the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH), a Master of Public Health (MPH) is a practice-oriented, interdisciplinary professional degree that prepares individuals to make a positive impact on the health and wellness of people in your community to people across the globe.
The UNC Charlotte Master of Public Health (MPH) program is an in-person plan of study that prepares students to apply core principles of evidence-based, public health practice within a variety of professional settings; our graduates are competent members of the public health workforce. Our MPH curriculum is based on the collective needs, expectations, and requirements of regional and national public health partners, employers, and accreditation bodies.
The UNC Charlotte MPH Program prepares students to provide leadership in a variety of settings, including health-related agencies and organizations, hospitals, local and state public health departments, academic research centers and institutes, corporate disease management and wellness programs, non-profit agencies, and healthcare businesses and industries.
An Interdepartmental MPH
One major change, however, is in the organization of the MPH program. The Department of Epidemiology and Community Health will administer the MPH core and two of its concentrations. Additional concentrations will be administered by other academic units in the college. The Department of Epidemiology and Community Health will oversee the MPH program’s overall delivery, in coordination with participating units. MPH program governance will be through an interdepartmental faculty committee, with a subcommittee for each concentration within its home academic unit. Students develop specialized skills in one of four concentrations.
