How is the MPH different than an MS?
The MPH is more recognizable among those individuals in public health. Since the early 1940s, we offered an MS in Health Education. Recently this was more of an MS in Community Health Education. Although we felt our students were well trained, they often had difficulties demonstrating to employers that they were as qualified as individuals with MPHs. Since our new MPH was approved in 2003 we have done away with our MS in Community Health Education.
