About The Online MPH Program

The opportunity to earn a degree from Michigan Public Health is now accessible online.

The Population and Health Sciences curriculum meets the emerging needs of an increasingly intersectional health landscape by addressing public health issues with insight from a variety of sectors like academia, industry, health care, government, and other stakeholder fields. Students are equipped with a foundational knowledge from the various disciplines of public health and develop expertise in those and other emerging subjects within the field such as precision health, health data, sustainability, population health and more through elective series tailored to the individual’s goals. By focusing on health at the population level, students connect practice with policy to aim for change whose impacts have a greater reach.

“One of the best features of the program is the fact that the schedule is so flexible. I could do the work where and when I needed to. I was frequently doing Zoom meetings in airport lounges or doing homework in the back of Ubers. The demand was never so much that I had to stop my job, and I have a family with children, so I'm able to do all these things at the same time.”

—Hassan Azar, online MPH ‘21
