The Master’s Degree in Public Health in Public Health Practice

A web-based distance learning curriculum

The School of Public Health and Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has initiated a new, fully online MPH program that allows individuals to earn a Master’s Degree in Public Health while continuing their careers in the public health and health care fields. Through online learning, e-mail, and Internet library resources, the Master’s Degree in Public Health Practice allows public health and health care professionals to earn an MPH accredited by the Council on Education in Public Health (CEPH) while maximizing flexibility in where and when they study.
