Planning for MPH Study
The number of courses taken each semester will depend on whether study is full-time or part-time. At minimum, the first semester program should focus on taking the required courses in biostatistics and the introduction to public health course. The second semester should focus on required courses in epidemiology and behavioral and social sciences or occupational and environmental health. Approved electives can be taken throughout.
