Academic Programs

Degree Program

We offer two degree programs in Maternal and Child Health:

• 45-credit Master of Public Health, which generally takes about two years to complete.
• 18-credit Graduate Certificate, which can be completed on its own or combined with an MPH in another program or department.

All MPH students who select the Maternal and Child Health program enroll in core courses (18 credits) and program-specific courses and electives (27 credits). The 45-credit requirement includes both a practicum and a culminating experience, which allow students to apply their classroom education in organizations engaged in maternal and child health and/or to pursue research.
