Program Description

The Master of Public Health (MPH) degree at North Dakota State University is accredited through the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). We currently offer the MPH in two specializations:

  • Epidemiology
  • Community Health Sciences

Both specializations have subplan options such as Management of Infectious Diseases and American Indian Public Health. We also offer several graduate certificates (including American Indian Public Health, Infection Prevention, and Generalist Public Health).

The MPH program at NDSU has strong relationships with entities including the North Dakota Department of Health, Sanford Health, and numerous local public health units, which offer opportunities for practicum sites and final projects.

Classes are offered both on-campus and through distance learning technology. We foster a commitment to our education and research mission by keeping class sizes small and providing opportunities for students to work closely with faculty on research projects.

Many current students are funded with graduate assistantships, which include a monthly stipend and may include a base tuition waiver. All online students pay the in-state tuition rate.
