Public Health Certificate

About

This Public Health Certificate program is designed for professionals working in health or human services.

All applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree.

In addition, the admissions committee looks closely at the applicant’s work experience and grades in math and science.

Curriculum

The Public Health Certificate in Preparedness, Response, and Recovery (PHCert-PRR) is a program in the Public Health Practice Major. You can earn this certificate after you have successfully completed a minimum of 12 credits.

The PHCert – PRR curriculum also offers elective courses in health informatics with scholarships available for interested students. The goal of the scholarship is to leverage health informatics technology capabilities in support of public health PRR and disseminate these models and solutions through teaching and mentoring others in their roles in the private and public sectors and in higher education environments. Scholarships are available up to $10,000 over three years. This is a wonderful opportunity!

You typically complete the curriculum by attending at least two Public Health Institutes (PHI), held in May/June of each year.
