The DrPH in Applied AI and Data Translation prepares experienced public health professionals to lead in an increasingly data-driven and technologically advanced landscape. As artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced analytics become integral to public health practice, this concentration equips students with the skills to analyze, interpret, and effectively communicate complex data to inform evidence-based strategies, policies, programs, and interventions.

The DrPH in Leadership for Public Health Policy is designed to prepare mid- to senior-level professionals to lead transformative change across health systems, government agencies, nonprofits, and global health organizations. It emphasizes developing the advanced leadership and policy analysis skills needed to address complex public health challenges and advance health equity at the local, national, and global levels. Students will gain a deep understanding of the political, economic, and social forces that shape public health systems.

Students in the MBA/MPH program gain the skills and knowledge to effectively lead and manage public health systems and programs, as well as advise on health policy issues.
