DEGREES AND AWARDS

MPH Career Master of Public Health Program

Special Message

The Career Master of Public Health (CMPH) program at the Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University is an innovative new way for public health professionals to prepare themselves as leaders in the 21st century. The CMPH is a 42-credit-hour Master of Public Health (MPH) degree program designed for those who have completed a bachelor's degree and who have a minimum of 5 years of professional experience.

The CMPH program runs for 7 semesters in a mixed format of on-campus face-to-face sessions and an Internet-based community learning environment, providing working professionals the opportunity to earn an MPH without interrupting their career. Courses begin and end with on-campus face-to-face sessions; between the on-campus sessions, learners interact with classmates and instructors in an Internet-based learning community. The mixed format ensures that students, regardless of location, receive the quality education Emory is known for, while gaining a familiarity with emerging technologies and developing close, rewarding relationships with faculty members and classmates.

The CMPH program combines a curriculum relevant in today's public health environment with computer and Web-based skills critical for today's successful professionals. The CMPH curriculum is based on the goals and objectives of the "Ten Essential Public Health Services" as stated in the Public Health Workforce: An Agenda for the 21st Century and the Core Competencies developed by the Council on Linkages Between Academia and Public Health Practice.

The rich learning environment of the CMPH program is due in part from the diversity of knowledge and experience learners bring to the program, as well as the knowledge and experience of Emory's high-quality faculty members, who are both practitioners as well as teachers.
