About
The M.P.H. in Behavioral, Social, and Community Health trains students to research, analyze, and address the social and behavioral factors that influence health and health outcomes at the individual, community, and population levels.
Students work collaboratively with faculty and community stakeholders to find solutions for critical issues in population health and health equity. The program of study includes the core disciplines in public health, courses in social and behavioral health, and options for elective courses tailored to the student's interest.
Program graduates will have knowledge and skills in the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of public health interventions as well as in acquiring and managing funds to support interventions and programming.
Alumni work in settings ranging from the CDC and state health departments to nonprofit and private-sector organizations. The flexible program allows students to choose a second M.P.H. concentration or a graduate certificate in a range of specialized public health areas.
