The Master of Public Health Degree Program, coordinated by the Department of Preventive Medicine in conjunction with The Graduate School, offers three degrees: 1) The freestanding Master of Public Health (MPH) degree designed for students with a background in the health-care professions. This is a part-time program consisting of evening classes. Nearly all classes are held on the Chicago campus; a few electives are offered on the Evanston campus. Students are expected to obtain the degree in two to four years.
2) The MD/MPH degree, which is a combined medical and public health degree, designed for medical students enrolled in Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine. Students have an opportunity to earn a MPH degree while enrolled in medical school. The MPH Program is a part-time program consisting of evening classes. While students attend medical school classes full-time during the day, they will also attend MPH classes, part-time in the evenings. Nearly all MPH classes are held on the Chicago campus; a few electives are offered on the Evanston campus. Students ordinarily complete the requirements for both degrees in four years of study.
3) The MSEB degree is an intensive four-quarter (1 calendar year) Master of Science degree program in epidemiology and biostatistics which trains postdoctoral and predoctoral scientists to apply current methods of epidemiology and biostatistics in conducting research on a range of health problems facing the population. |
