ODU's Master of Public Health (MPH) is an interprofessional degree program. That means you will connect with students, international and community organizations, and health professionals.
You will complete both didactic and experience-based courses. This will give you a solid foundation of public health knowledge, plus the skills to apply that knowledge in areas such as healthcare management, population-based research, and the community practice of public health.
Focus your studies with one of three concentrations. Our online MPH program culminates in a practicum based in a community organization, so you can practice your new skills and knowledge in real world situations.
Full-time and part-time study is available. This program can be completed in two years with full-time study.
The Master of Public Health (MPH) program is accredited through December 31, 2025 by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). The program received its initial CEPH accreditation in June 2000 and was last re-accredited in June 2020 in a report demonstrating full compliance across all CEPH criteria. Currently the program is an approved applicant as a multi-partner school of public health. For more information, see CEPH Applicants. For more information about CEPH, please visit their website.
