New MPH Program
at Hofstra
HEMPSTEAD — In collaboration with the North Shore-LIJ Health System and the
Hofstra-North Shore LIJ School of Medicine, Hofstra University has created a
Master of Public Health (MPH) program scheduled to begin September 4.
Hofstra is accepting applications and enrolling students through mid-
August. The MPH program offers an innovative, interdisciplinary curriculum and
advanced training for the next generation of health professionals. The faculty
includes clinicians, practitioners, researchers, policymakers and policy analysts
from Hofstra’s programs in health professions, the North Shore-LIJ Health
System and the medical school. Their combined decades of experience provide
students with a strong academic foundation and the practical preparation
necessary to meet the challenges of increasingly complex and changing health
care policy reforms.
Advanced training in public health enables healthcare professionals to
identify risks to health and prevention strategies and interventions earlier in
the disease process, leading to a more efficient and effective health system.
The program is designed to accommodate full-time professionals, and can be
completed on a part-time basis in less than three years. For more information
