The Master of Public Health degree program provides advanced study beyond the bachelor degree for persons wishing to update professional skills and obtain new competencies in the area of public health. The program prepares students to enhance public health in the community and to become advocates for needed change. The graduates will be prepared to assess factors affecting health, critique and apply research findings, and, in turn, develop strategies and implement various measures for health promotion and disease prevention. The program is composed of a

consortium that includes BGSU and The University of Toledo (UT). The MPH degree is awarded jointly by the two consortial

institutions. MPH students have library, computer, parking, and other privileges at all three campuses.

Students gain specialized training in one or more of the following five majors:

1. Environmental and Occupational Health: Graduates of this major are prepared to address environmental and occupational health issues for industries, agencies, and organizations from scientific, technical, and

administrative perspectives.

2. Health Promotion and Education: Graduates are prepared to assist communities, organizations, and individuals in working towards a healthier society by using appropriate educational, behavioral, and social change strategies.

3. Public Health Administration: Graduates are prepared to assume administrative roles in government and community agencies, health care facilities, and private industry.

4. Public Health Nutrition: Graduates are prepared for the role of nutrition in disease prevention and health promotion and apply this knowledge to planning, managing, delivering, and evaluating nutrition services and programs.

5. Public Health Epidemiology: Graduates are prepared to quantify the distribution and establish the determinants of health problems by describing and analyzing the biological, environmental, social and behavioral factors affecting health, illness, and premature death.

Students have the opportunity to begin their studies with a year abroad in France or Quebec, Spain or Mexico. Students return to the home campus for their second year of study. Those who prefer not to spend a year abroad may take their full course work at the University.
