Graduate Programs in Public Health
Explore 1,000+ Public Health graduate programs at 150+ universities across 10 countries.
Overview
Public health is about keeping whole populations healthy rather than treating one patient at a time. Students study epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, health policy and behavioral science, learning to track disease, design interventions and judge what works.
The MPH is the standard professional master's, with concentrations such as epidemiology, global health or health policy, while an MS or MSPH leans toward research. A PhD or DrPH suits those aiming for research, teaching or senior leadership.
Public health offers one of the widest choices of programs, according to our data. Graduates become epidemiologists, biostatisticians, health program managers, policy analysts and health consultants. Employers include health departments, hospitals, global health organizations, pharmaceutical companies and insurers, and graduates who pair public health training with data skills are especially in demand.
Most Public Health programs charge between $20,000 and $70,000 a year in tuition. The top ten ranked programs charge between $40,000 and $70,000.
