Master of Public Health degree, concentration in public health
practice: This concentration provides the opportunity to develop
breadth in public health by taking coursework in two, three, or four

required of professionals who assume positions of leadership in
public health. It is available to students in joint and concurrent

from advanced course options in two to four of the other
concentrations. Students complete their degree with a 5 to 8 credit
