Apply advanced data science techniques to optimize global public health practices.

This innovative Public Health Data Science MPH program — one of only a handful such programs in the U.S. — equips students with the comprehensive skills required to help design, understand, implement, and analyze public health initiatives and campaigns.

The program is designed for individuals with a strong interest in advancing public health who would like specialized training in computational and statistical methods that will allow them to extract meaningful insights from complex data to tackle a wide variety of public health challenges.

The Public Health Data Science MPH helps to address a growing gap between the rapid expansion of public health data and those capable of using that data effectively. This innovative program offers students the opportunity to combine public health and data science into one degree.
