The Colorado School of Public Health Master of Public Health (MPH) is a CEPH accredited program.  The MPH is the primary professional degree in the field of public health, training students for a variety of public health careers. The program provides a broad, multi-disciplinary focus on the factors that influence population health from behavioral risk to environmental exposures to socioeconomic and health policy. Students acquire knowledge, skills and practical experiences that prepare them for professional activities, including: epidemiological and health services research; community needs assessment; environmental and occupational health; health policy; health promotion; and administration of public health programs. Graduates find work in research settings, health care settings, industry, government health agencies, community-based organizations and foundations, and global health. Physicians, veterinarians, nurses and other health care professionals also comprise a portion of our MPH student body, acquiring graduate training in public health to enhance their understanding of the preventive measures and underlying causes of disease.
