What is the MPH program at OSU?
The Master of Public Health (MPH) degree is the standard professional public health degree, recognized throughout the world. Students enrolled in OSU’s School of Public Health may specialize in one of six basic areas: biometrics, epidemiology, environmental health sciences, health behavior and health promotion, health services management and policy, or Veterinary Public Health. They will take courses in each of these basic areas to provide flexibility and familiarity with all public health disciplines. As a practice-oriented degree, the MPH requires that all students also complete a field practicum designed to gain practical experience in their field of specialization, and a culminating experience determined by their specialization.
