Our goal is to train you to be a leader and/or practitioner who will promote public health principles in agencies delivering preventive health services and public health programs.
The online, distance program is designed for professionals who are practicing full-time and not necessarily living in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. You may take over half of the required courses online and complete the electives of your choice online and by attending the 3 week Public Health Institute offered during May Session. A wide range of current and timely topics are taught at the Public Health Institute i.e., World Food Problems, Social Epidemiology, Hot Topics in Food Traceability. Check out the course offerings.
Students may complete the program in as little as 16 months of full-time study by completing online courses and coming to campus for a minimum of 3 weeks for the Public Health Institute.
