Lynchburg’s Master of Public Health (MPH) program features a concentration in community health and is designed to educate professionals who will support and enhance public and community health locally, regionally, nationally, and globally.

Students will also gain hands-on experience in the field through course projects and internships. Successful graduates are prepared to take the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing Exam and become Certified Health Education Specialists. The full-time, on-site or hybrid options begin in Fall or Spring semesters with completion in less than 12 months when started in the fall. Students can also enroll in part-time, on-site or online options and complete the program in less than 24 months.

The University of Lynchburg is a nationally recognized private university where students gain a greater heart for humanity and a mindset of individual growth. Here, thought-provoking learning ignites change in each individual and the world. We were founded in 1903 when a handful of professors instructed fewer than 60 students in the halls of a former resort hotel. There were eight people in the first graduating class.

Since then, we’ve grown as a community and as a university. We have over 2,500 students and more than 20,000 alumni around the world. We evolved from a small liberal arts college to a comprehensive university. At every turn, we ask ourselves how can we best serve our students? In turn, we ask our students: how can you best serve the world?
