A New Curriculum to Master Public Health

By: busph () in faculty

As the 2016–2017 School of Public Health academic year begins, so does the School's [...]brand-new, redesigned Master of Public Health (MPH).

The comprehensive overhaul is based on changes in student demographics, expanded exposure to public health coursework, new teaching methods, and the ongoing evolution of the public health workforce.

The new curriculum project at SPH, first begun in 2014, coincided with a nationwide effort to redesign the MPH by the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH), which established an MPH Expert Panel to consult with public health leaders and employers.

Associate Dean for Education and Professor of Biostatistics Lisa Sullivan served as a member of the ASPPH panel, and also headed the MPH Task Force at SPH. After two years, Sullivan and her colleagues emerged with a redesigned 48-credit MPH degree program for the School.
