Public Health (MPH) Online

Program Description

• STEM designated program

Jefferson’s Public Health Program (MPH) has been a leader in addressing critical public health issues and engaging students and faculty in projects that yield important community impact. In an effort to make this important training more accessible, Jefferson recently launched a fully online option for students interested in earning the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree. 

The online MPH option is a flexible delivery option that can be tailored to the unique needs and interests of all students, including working professionals, busy clinicians, recent graduates, and dual degree learners.

The MPH program (online and in-person) is nationally accredited by the Council of Public Health Education (CEPH). Like our in-person MPH offering, online class sizes are small to ensure students get to know the faculty and one another. Students seeking an online training experience can choose from a host of online asynchronous or synchronous course offerings and will be invited to monthly virtual huddles with program faculty, staff, and guest speakers, where they can share their experiences and make important connections with others in and out of the classroom. Consistent with all training programs at the Jefferson College of Population Health (JCPH), faculty teaching in the MPH program are expert researchers and practitioners and all complete an intensive training program in best practices for in-person and online education before they enter the classroom. Jefferson's MPH program faculty are ready to meet students where they are and provide the training, guidance, and mentorship needed to help each student launch a meaningful career. 

The Master of Public Health (MPH) is a 45-credit degree.

The MPH degree requires the completion of 27 credits of core courses (including a non-crediting bearing clerkship) and 18 credits of concentration and elective courses.
