Accreditation

The SPHHS has been accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) through December 31, 2029.

The UMass Amherst School of Public Health and Health Sciences (SPHHS) is fully accredited by the Council of Education for Public Health and is a member of the Association of Schools & Programs of Public Health.

Most recently, the School of Public Health and Health Sciences was accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) Board of Councilors for a full, seven-year term, extending to December 31, 2029.

CEPH is an independent agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit schools of public health and public health programs offered in settings other than schools of public health. These schools and programs prepare students for entry into careers in public health. CEPH assures quality in public health education and training to achieve excellence in practice, research, and service, through collaboration with organizational and community partners.

CEPH accreditation sets the benchmark by which all accredited schools of public health strive to “enhance health in human populations through organized community effort.” Accreditation assures our constituents that we have rigorously and systematically planned and evaluated the quality and content of our instruction, research and service programs, and activities and have met the high standards of our profession. This self-study process is one part of our ongoing effort to continually improve our programs to meet the needs of our students, public health partners, and citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
