The Master of Public Health (MPH) is a career-focused, practice-based graduate degree for change-makers focused on building healthier populations. Our nationally-ranked MPH program will give you the skills you need to create what’s possible: a world with less human suffering and more access to care for all. The program offers concentrations in Epidemiology, Health Behavior, Environmental Health, and Health Management & Policy.

UK College of Public Health was the best choice for me. It has all the resources of a large research institute, but small class sizes that allow you to connect with professors, students, and opportunities; this gives students the best of both worlds.
