While nurturing students’ capacity to think critically and creatively, we strive to deepen their commitment to improving the public’s health and to engaging in and promoting public service—qualities essential for future epidemiologists and public health practitioners.

Master's Degree

Our program helps students develop the necessary methodological and quantitative skills to conduct research in an international setting and successfully improve the health and well-being of people around the world. The MPH curriculum prepares students to design and conduct studies, manage health data, and make leadership decisions in the context of international public health.

Students will be prepared to identify determinants of health problems, to design and conduct epidemiologic and intervention research in national and international settings, and to communicate their findings to lay audiences.

Faculty members are affiliated with many international governmental and nongovernmental organizations based in Washington, DC. Through a variety of public and private national and international organizations based in the US and overseas, students have extensive access to internships and other learning opportunities designed to expose them to international public health challenges.

With courses scheduled in the late afternoons and early evenings, our programs allow students to attain valuable career experience while they earn their degrees.
