The UMass SPHHS launched our fully online graduate certificate in global health in the fall of 2015. The certificate is aimed at working public health professionals, interested in moving their focus to the international public health stage. The certificate is one of the few that does not require students to be admitted to a full MPH or PhD program. It is open to any working professional needing to improve their knowledge of issues and policies in global public health.
