Public Health Certificate in Performance Improvement

Public Health track

What You’ll Learn

If you are an upper- or middle-level manager, or interested in acquiring knowledge and skills in quality improvement, this program is for you — especially in an era of public health accreditation.

Students will learn basic quality improvement concepts and skills, as appropriate to their role within their organization. All applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree.


Students earn this certificate after successfully completing a minimum of 12 credits. A unique feature of the certificate is that students are required to put into practice what they learn in the classroom by leading an improvement team within their organization.

Coursework is offered online and the program can be completed in five terms, attending part time. 

Currently, the Performance Improvement Certificate is not accepting new applications for the 2013-2014 academic year. Please contact Katy Korchik at korc0004@umn.edu if you have questions.

Thank you for considering the Public Health Certificate in Performance Improvement and the University of Minnesota.
