Overview
Public Health at Wayne State University is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to improve the health of populations and communities though health promotion and disease prevention. Health is not equal across populations. Economic cultural, ethnic and environmental factors impact the health of a community. Public health emphasizes social justice and works to eliminate health disparities in underserved populations.
Our MPH Program is 42 credits and may be earned in two or more years. MPH graduates develop skills and knowledge in core public health areas: biostatistics, epidemiology, the social determinants of health, environmental health and health care administration. Students also develop skills in health program planning and evaluation, leadership and team management, policy analysis and advocacy; data and information analysis, along with grant writing. Students also take a community-based practicum and write a culminating Master's project.
