Community Health Education

Degree: M.P.H.

Welcome to our Community Health Education (CHE) program that emphasizes developing policies and programs to improve the health of certain populations.
Our graduates pursue public health careers in a variety of settings including non-profit organizations, state and local public health agencies, and healthcare companies.

As a CHE major, you will work alongside internationally recognized public health experts. Our student-to-faculty ratio is low and our program is flexible. We provide you with enough elective credits to concentrate in policy, global health, or complementary and alternative medicine. You can also tailor your electives to meet your own interests.

Browse the links at right to learn more about our program and to read about our faculty, students, and alumni. For specific questions, please contact Kathryn Schwartz 
at epichstu@umn.edu.

(Students who want to pursue a Ph.D. in Community Health Education should apply to the behavioral track of the Epidemiology Ph.D.)

Thank you for considering our program and the University of Minnesota. We look forward to receiving an application from you.
