Recognizing Michigan Public Health's Distance Learning Community
Celebrating National Distance Learning Week 2022
The University of Michigan School of Public Health proudly celebrates National Distance Learning Week from November 7 - 11, 2022. During National Distance Learning Week we recognize the stories and contributions of students, faculty, and staff who are pursuing public health through the online and hybrid programs offered by Michigan Public Health.
What Our Master's Students Have to Say
We asked students to share their experiences in the online Master of Public Health and the hybrid Executive Master's MHSA programs. Follow us on Instagram to read more about how distance learners participate in the School of Public Health community while they learn and work.
