The Master of Public
Health Program at the University of Virginia offers an individualized
and interdisciplinary experience that focuses on the competencies
professionals need to improve the health of communities and
individuals. The curriculum provides graduate professional training in
quantitative and qualitative research methodologies; health policy, law
and ethics; and translational and community-based research; and
community engagement strategies.
Created in 2003, the program draws upon the strengths of UVa faculty within the Schools of Medicine, Arts & Sciences, Nursing, Law, Business, Public Policy, and Architecture, as well as in the Center for Global Health and the larger university community. Students choose one of two tracks: Research in Practice or Health Policy, Law & Ethics. The following dual degrees also are available: MD-MPH, JD-MPH, MBA-MPH and MPP-MPH.
The MPH program recognizes the value of strong relationships with community health organizations and community-based public health professionals. Faculty and students are involved in a wide array of collaborative and service initiatives with community partners, including local, regional, and global projects. Students also have opportunities to present their research at state public health conferences and work on policy issues with public officials.
