Program overview

What Monroe University says about their program:

Public health is a broad field that deals with issues as diverse as chronic diseases, environmental health hazards, malnutrition, sexually transmitted infections, community violence, social and economic inequality, substance abuse, and much more.

As different as all these issues may seem, the people who work to combat them share something essential in common.They are all driven to serve — not only to prolong people’s lives, but to improve the quality of those lives.

With an accredited Master of Public Health degree from our King Graduate School, you’ll be ready to play a vital role in mitigating health issues on both the local and global level. You’ll develop the skills you need to collaborate with clinicians, health care agencies, and community members; to identify resources to help reduce the prevalence of public health issues, and to help prevent the incidence of health problems in diverse populations.
