The 12-month, three-semester Master of Public Health in Global Health allows experienced public health professionals to enhance their knowledge of global health issues, build their leadership skills, and earn an MPH in our most accelerated format.

Implementation and evaluation science is a multidisciplinary field focused on the systematic study of strategies and processes for effectively adapting, adopting, and scaling evidence-based interventions and assessing outcomes for diverse populations and contexts. This training encompasses foundational methods coursework to enable the design, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based interventions, including policies, practices, and programs. The primary goal is to bridge gaps between what we know (research) and what we do (practice and policy) to improve population health.

Public health preparedness and response is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on leading, coordinating, and implementing systems in response to local, regional, national, or global public health threats. This concentration prepares graduates for leadership roles, providing them with the knowledge and skills to lead teams in times of crisis and to communicate and collaborate effectively with external partners at the local, regional, national, and global level across various industries.

The Master of Health Administration (MHA) is an executive program for working mid-career professionals looking to expand their skills in health care management. This hybrid program is primarily offered in an online, asynchronous format, with students meeting synchronously two to three times per semester and participating in three residency trips to Emory University.

The MPH in Behavioral, Social and Health Education Sciences (BSHES) prepares students to be public health researchers and practitioners dedicated to examining and challenging systemic patterns of inequity to bring about meaningful social change and improve population health. In this program, you’ll explore the impacts of human behavior and socio-cultural contexts on population and community health. Students receive intensive training on behavioral and social science theories and methods of health promotion, planning and design of culturally informed interventions, program evaluation and data analysis, and principles of community engagement.

From analysis of infectious diseases to deriving new scientific discoveries in the biomedical and health sciences, biostatistics is a collaborative field that reaches across disciplines and uses statistical theory and methods to solve biological problems. Biostatisticians apply statistical theory and methods to solve the problems that affect people’ s physical, social, and mental well-being. The MPH in Biostatistics trains students in quantitative methods that can improve human health with a strong focus on statistical modeling and data analysis.

The MPH in Environmental Health is a gateway to understanding the intricate relationship between environmental factors and human health. The program provides a uniquely interdisciplinary approach to examining the chemical, physical, and microbial hazards that occur in the home, workplace, and general environment.

The MPH in Epidemiology prepares students to advance knowledge on the causes, prevention, and control of disease to improve public health and reduce health inequities through research, education, and policy. Students leave the program with both epidemiologic training and broad exposure to other public health disciplines, and the ability to identify, collect, manage, analyze, interpret, and report population-based data to drive disease control and prevention.

The MPH in Global Health trains students to apply global health approaches to improve well-being and health delivery in the U.S. and around the world. We integrate rigorous training in quantitative and qualitative methods, program planning, management, and evaluation to build future leaders in global health research, programs, and policy.

The MPH in Health Care Management helps students build leadership careers in health care service delivery. Students in this program gain a broad set of practical skills and understanding suitable for success as health care managers and policy analysts across sectors.

The MPH in Health Policy provides students with a broad understanding of how federal, state, and local policies shape the U.S. health care system. In addition to core courses, students in this program take a concentrated set of courses in a particular field like vulnerable populations or health outcomes. Graduates are well qualified to practice in the private health care industry, nonprofit sector, and government.
