The program prepares advanced students to contribute to the field of health education through teaching, research, and service. Although health and research courses are required, the program is individualized through selection of elective courses and a cognate to develop each student for leadership roles in academia, private health sector, or government agencies.
  • Graduate Certificates 
    • Seven Graduate Certificates are offered by the School of Population Health. The graduate certificates were created to offer students an opportunity to learn about various areas of public health without the commitment to a degree program. Graduate certificates require 12-15 credit hours, depending on the certificate. A summary of all graduate certificates can be found here.

The division faculty offer a variety of courses under the course acronyms of HEAL, representing all health education undergraduate and graduate courses, and PUBH, representing all Master in Public Health and Master of Science in Occupational Health courses.
