Earn the versatility of a public health degree with the Nova Southeastern University (NSU) forward-thinking Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) program. Based in NSU’s Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM), the program prepares you to define, critically assess, and resolve problems by applying the theories, concepts, and principles of public health.
Leverage a flexible curriculum designed to accommodate a diversity of backgrounds and individual career goals with the online and on-site options. The M.P.H. curriculum is fundamentally the same for both online and on-site students, except for the modality of learning, and is often taught by the same faculty member.
You’ll be exposed to research and community projects in mental health, genetics, oral health, health disparities, and global health, among other topics. Students will benefit from faculty members from diverse backgrounds who bring a broad range of their own experiences to the classroom.
Demand for public health professionals is growing because of emerging and reemerging diseases, environmental health concerns, health care reform, and sociopolitical factors affecting health worldwide. Gain the tools and expertise to work in a variety of settings and active roles while preparing your community needs for a healthier future.
