MPH students are supported by several professional faculty/administrators in addition to their faculty advisor.
Each term, the MPH Administrative Director holds MPH student meetings, which are drop-in sessions where we discuss important deadlines, required paperwork, including the program of study, and other topics. Students are encouraged to attend at least one meeting each year. Meetings are streamed so students can attend remotely.
MPH students must complete their program of study by the first week of their second to last term in the program. After a program of study has been approved by the Graduate School, the student can modify their program of study at any time. The Graduate School requires graduate students to use the digital program of study platform to complete their program of study, which can be found on the Grad School’s forms page.
This 15-minute tutorial walks you through how to complete your program of study.
The H510 MPH Internship is a 6-credit course that is required for every MPH student.

You may find that a minor or certificate program would be beneficial for your career goals. It is possible, depending on the minor or certificate, that the courses could also be used to satisfy your MPH elective requirement. Faculty advisors approve elective courses, so talk with your advisor about this possibility.
