Master in Public Health

The UC Davis M.P.H. Program’s goal is to develop the future public health leaders by providing a high-quality Master’s degree curriculum in partnership with the public health community. We accomplish this through the UC Davis and health networks' collaborative efforts, including the Schools of Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Management, Law, Education, and Nursing and the California Department of Public Health, local county health departments, and non-profit agencies. These partnerships comprise teaching, student mentorship, field placements, research, service, direction, and support for the UC Davis M.P.H. Program.

The UC Davis M.P.H. Program is an accelerated, 56-unit program that focuses on the essentials of public health. It offers students two concentration areas – General Public Health & Epidemiology – and includes a practicum experience, or internship, in a public health setting.

The UC Davis School of Medicine is among the nation’s leading medical schools, one that is committed to providing the best in student-centered educational experiences. Our school encompasses a diverse group of medical and graduate students guided by faculty dedicated to improving lives and transforming health for all.

As part of UC Davis Health, the School of Medicine helps train the nation’s health care workforce and prepare them to become future leaders in health for our communities.
