The Master of Science in Population Health Management program teaches students to use data science to address health determinants with diagnosis, prevention, intervention, and more. The curriculum includes the foundations of population health, data science, qualitative research methods, population health survey methods, research ethics, and policymaking. The program pulls upon different methods to engage students in learning with research projects, experiential learning, and partnerships. Completion requires 42 credits through a mix of required and elective courses. In addition, students must do a research paper or project with consultation from a faculty member or internship site.
In the 4+1 accelerated program, undergraduate students receiving a BS in Population Health or a BA in Community and Global Health who have a 3.5 GPA by the end of their sophomore year can be automatically admitted into the MPH or the MS in Population Health Management. Students take up to 12 credits (four courses) of graduate coursework during their junior and senior years. They would enroll as full-time master's degree students the summer after their undergraduate degree is completed.
