Planning for MPH Study
The number of courses taken each semester will depend on wheter you are following the Generalist, Global Health, or Environmental Health track. A full time student is expected to complete the degree requirements within 2 years. A 3-year part-time study option is also available. At a minimum, the first semester program should focus on taking the required courses in biostatistics and the introduction to public health course. In the second semester part time students take the required epidemiology course and their first approved elective.
