Are there any advantages for me to enroll in the UAA MPH program vs. a distance delivered one from the Lower-48?
A. Yes! For starters, we may be less expensive than many other programs in the Lower-48. While other schools charge $500-$600 or more per credit, we charge less. In addition, if you are a student in our program, there are no out-of-state travel or living expenses, and you can continue to live and work in Alaska while you earn your MPH degree. Another very important benefit of our MPH degree is that the instructors are Alaskans. In contrast to MPH programs in the Lower-48, most of our instructors live in Alaska, work in Alaska, and know the public health issues of the far north. Our MPH program is relevant to your personal experience and your public health work.
