Overview

It is a natural entry point for many students who will eventually continue for the PhD. Because of this orientation, the emphasis in the Public Health degree from The Ohio State University is on building a strong foundation in a particular specialty field, along with the research methods important in that field. To reflect this research and academic orientation, the MS ordinarily requires the preparation of a thesis. The MS degrees require between 45-48 semester credit hours.

Key Facts

There is no practice placement requirement for the MS, however the thesis is an integral part of the MS degree, allowing the student the opportunity to investigate a topic of personal interest and importance to the field, and to integrate and synthesize from the knowledge and skills presented in the program.
