We are excited to announce our new online Global Health Track that is being offered as part of our
Master of Public Health (MPH) program beginning in January 2018. Your student's dream of becoming a public health professional is even more
accessible.
The new global health track is designed to help students gain insight into issues that impact public health on a global scale. Focusing on issues that
transcend country-specific locations and/or economics, and impact human health care in a global context, students will learn how to plan, design, and implement programs to benefit the overall health of communities across the globe.
The Master of Public Health Global Track Highlights:
-
42-credit, one-year program conducted predominantly online.
-
At the end of Term 3, students are required to complete a 240-hour on-site practicum of their choosing.
-
Each practicum is tailored to the student's individual program, providing real-life, hands-on experience in his or her chosen public health concentration.
Overall MPH Program Highlights:
-
The one-year MPH program conducted on campus offers specializations in epidemiology, environmental and occupational health, health policy and administration. The one-year online MPH program offers
specialization in global health.

The on-campus MPH program in Grenada is accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), the US accreditation authority for public health programs.
