MSU is pleased to announce a graduate degree option in public health. The Program in Public Health (PPH) at Michigan State University (MSU) is a result of the collaborative efforts of the Colleges of Human Medicine, Nursing, Osteopathic Medicine, and Social Science with additional support from International Studies and Programs and The Graduate School.
A key feature is the emphasis on applied knowledge. Studies may be taken on a full-time or part-time basis. MSU policy limits the total time to complete a master’s degree to six years. The PPH offers three educational programs:
a graduate degree program conferring a Master’s in Public Health (MPH) degree. This program requires 42 credits including 18 credits of core coursework, 18 elective credits, and a 6 credit practicum/culminating experience.
a graduate specialization for students enrolled in other graduate degree programs. This program requires 18 credits of the core coursework.
a certificate program for persons interested in obtaining the core set of knowledge/skills in public health without being enrolled in a degree-granting program. This program requires 18 credits of the core coursework.
