Master of Public Health Degree Program
Choose the MPH degree online or from six in-person public health degree options.
MPH Online – Public health practice
Oregon State’s online MPH program prepares you to take on leadership roles informing public health action. With an emphasis on public health systems, policy and prevention intervention, you can look forward to jobs centered around program management and implementation in public health or allied health settings.
Biostatistics
If you enjoy applying math to real-world problems, the MPH in biostatistics is for you. Biostatistics, the basis of all public health and medical research, uses statistics to understand public health and health care challenges.
Environmental and occupational health
Explore the impact of environmental and occupational hazards on human health and society, and develop effective interventions to control and prevent exposure to hazards.
Epidemiology
With an MPH in epidemiology, you'll investigate why and how diseases and injuries occur in different groups of people, or how to best prepare for and reduce the impact on human health.
Global health
Global public health professionals take on communities’ most pressing health challenges, work hand in hand with underrepresented populations and strive to alleviate health disparities around the world.
Health promotion and health behavior
The health promotion and health behavior master’s degree will prepare you to understand the social and behavioral influences at play in various communities, especially those with health disparities.
Health systems and policy
In the health systems and policy master's degree option you’ll learn analytic tools for understanding the complex effects policy has on health, health care markets and the community, as well as how to effectively implement policy change.

Trixie Nguyen, MPH-Biostatistics ’20
Data analyst, AdventHealth University
“Since high school, I’ve always had an interest in solving problems like math, puzzles, etc. Choosing the MPH in biostatistics allowed me to combine biomedical science, mathematics and statistics.
“Another reason is that biostatistics is always on the list of the top master’s degrees for job prospects.
“I choose Oregon State University to pursue my master’s degree in biostatistics because of the state’s environmental beauty and the school’s prestige.”
