Overview

The Public Health MPA course from Queen's University is available for candidates with at least two years of cumulative full-time paid employment in health care, public health or a related field.

You may also be interested in our Specialization in Infection Prevention and Control, an embedded training opportunity within the MPH that combines foundational training in public health competencies with technical training and experiential learning in infection prevention and control.

We teach our students face-to-face and prioritize collaborative learning. We value our students and support them to succeed. The MPH is delivered as a blend of in-person courses, online courses, and off-campus experiential learning through a summer practicum with a host organization. Required courses are delivered in person and students are expected to attend on campus in the fall and winter terms.
