Master of Public Health

Our Master of Public Health is one of the most innovative public health programs in the United States. Our interdisciplinary curriculum equips you with the skills and experience to excel in the 21st-century health workforce and enables you to contribute to the quest of improving the public’s health. Public health is more than a job – it’s a calling to make a difference.

The mission of the University of New Haven’s Master of Public Health (MPH) program is to prepare healthcare professionals who prevent disease, promote health, and protect the well-being of the public through education, practice, research, and service. Through our program, you will gain the leadership skills, innovative mindset, and background in evidence-based decision-making that are required to excel in the field of public health. You will also curate the professional, social, ethical, and political understanding of health you need to succeed from in- and out-of-the-classroom experiences. As a student you will learn public health by doing public health.

The University of New Haven, founded on the Yale campus in 1920, is a private, coeducational university that has been recognized by The Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report for academic excellence.
