Curriculum Information – Maternal and Child Health MPH (PDF)

The Maternal and Child Health MPH program provides two flexible program options. Students in either the Advanced Standing or Standard Tracks may complete their degree entirely online, entirely in-person, or by taking a combination of online and in-person courses.

Our comprehensive curriculum covers program design and evaluation, policy advocacy, epidemiology, reproductive health, infant and child health, adolescent health, social disparities, family systems and women’s health. Our students develop skills in health disparities and inequities, ethics, communications, and health systems. They use these skills to promote and improve the health of women, children, youth, birthing people, and families.

Choose from two Maternal and Child Health MPH emphasis areas:

• Standard Track: (48 credits) Ideal for students without advanced degrees and who have limited professional experience. Students may complete their degree online, in-person, or through a mix of both.
• Advanced Standing Track: (42 credits) For students who either have an advanced degree (e.g., MD, MS, MSW, MEd) or who have at least three years of professional experience related to maternal and child health or public health. Students may complete their degree online, in-person, or through a mix of both.
