Public Health

The Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) degree prepares students to tackle increasingly complex public health issues through a One Health approach that integrates human, animal, and environmental health principles and practices. 

This interdisciplinary degree program provides opportunities to develop public health knowledge and skills as public health practitioners, or to enhance and add professional value to a healthcare professional degree. 

The degree is offered as a stand-alone or dual-degree options. The dual-degree option is an option for students enrolled in one of Midwestern’s doctoral healthcare degree programs.

• Students who are enrolled in or are graduates of a doctoral healthcare degree program may receive elective credit towards the M.P.H. degree, reducing the overall tuition cost and time to completion. 
• The M.P.H. degree will help students become more competitive applicants for careers in clinical and public health practice, global health, government service, and more.
