Public Health, M.P.H.
Saint Louis University's College for Public Health and Social Justice is committed to social justice and the Jesuit mission as the only accredited Catholic, Jesuit school of public health in the nation. Students who graduate from SLU's College for Public Health and Social Justice pass the Certified Public Health exam at significantly higher rates than the national average. Over the past few years, more than 90 percent of students passed the exam on the first try, as compared to the national average of 75 to 85 percent annually.
Graduate-level public health classes are taught by faculty who are internationally recognized as leaders in public health research and practice and have diverse research interests. In addition to traditional classroom-based learning, students gain experience through applied learning opportunities with community partners.
STEM OPT-3 Eligible Programs
Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and all joint concentrations with Epidemiology (BST/EPI, BSDP/EPI, BSHE/EPI, GLOH/EPI, HMP/EPI, and MCH/EPI) are designated as STEM OPT-3 eligible programs for international students.
Curriculum Overview
The Master of Public Health, 42-54 credits, trains students to be competent in both the core areas of public health and their selected concentrations. Students choose one or two (joint) concentrations from among eight options, including:
Behavioral Science and Health Education
Learn to design and evaluate interventions that promote healthy lifestyles and prevent illness and injuries. Students in the MPH BSHE concentration develop the skills to understand, research and address social, cultural, behavioral and environmental determinants of disease and injury. A joint concentration with epidemiology (BSHE/EPI) is also available for just an additional six credits.
Biosecurity and Disaster Preparedness (Online Option Available)
Learn to develop preventive measures to reduce the risk of transmission of infectious diseases, living modified organisms, and other potentially harmful biological agents. Students in the MPH BSDP concentration prepare for leadership roles in the prevention of and response to both human-made and natural disasters. Joint concentrations with epidemiology (BSDP/EPI) or global health (GLOH/BSDP) are also available for just an additional six credits. The BSDP program can be completed entirely online or in a traditional classroom setting. Joint concentrations require “hybrid” study, combining online and in-person classes.
Biostatistics
Learn to apply statistical theory and mathematical principles to research in public health, medicine, pharmacology, biology, environmental science and other related fields aimed at determining the causes of disease and injuries and to identifying critical trends within communities. Students in the MPH BST concentration develop the skills to collect and analyze health-related data, forecast various scenarios and make important policy recommendations. A joint concentration with epidemiology (BST/EPI) is also available for just an additional six credits.
Epidemiology
Learn to investigate and control disease distributions and the determinants of disease in human populations. Students in the MPH EPI concentration develop skills in disease surveillance, sampling methods, identifying and improving study designs, analyzing health data used in epidemiologic studies, and the application of epidemiologic principles and methods related to chronic and infectious diseases. Joint concentrations with the following concentrations are also available for just an additional six credits: behavioral science and health education (BSHE/EPI), biosecurity and disaster preparedness (BSDP/EPI), biostatistics (BST/EPI), global health (GLOH/EPI), health management and policy (HMP/EPI), and maternal child health (MCH/EPI).
Global Health
Learn to research, understand and address worldwide health needs that transcend national boundaries, focusing especially on the needs of people living in developing countries and resource-poor immigrant communities here in the United States. Students in the MPH GLOH concentration develop skills in intervention development and evaluation, implementation science and policy analysis. Joint concentrations with biosecurity and disaster preparedness (GLOH/BSDP), epidemiology (GLOH/EPI), and maternal child health (GLOH/MCH) are also available for just an additional six credits.
Health Management and Policy
Learn to create solutions that address key public health and health care system management challenges. Students in the MPH HMP concentration blend a core management component with advanced public health training to prepare for senior leadership roles in a wide range of public, private and not-for-profit organizations committed to improving health care delivery systems, access to health care services, and reducing risks to the public’s health. A joint concentration with epidemiology (HMP/EPI) is also available for just an additional six credits.
Maternal and Child Health
Learn to investigate and address the complex public health problems unique to women, children and their families. Students in the MPH MCH concentration develop skills to improve health delivery systems through advocacy, health education, program development and management, researching best practices, and promoting access to improved prenatal care and birth outcomes, particularly in underserved communities where the need is greatest. Joint concentrations in epidemiology (MCH/EPI) and global health (GLOH/MCH) are also available for just an additional six credits.
Public Health Practice
For professionals currently working in public health or experienced clinicians, learn to enhance skills in public health practice and develop, implement, and evaluate effective public health initiatives. Students in the MPH PHP concentration create and analyze programs in the context of the communities they serve, taking into account cultural, social, economic, ethical and legal factors.
Fieldwork and Research Opportunities
The M.P.H. program is designed to give students the practical skills needed for any public health career.
Students complete an internship after their first year of study to gain practical experience in their chosen career path. Students have interned in a variety of settings from local nonprofits to academic research centers, state and federal agencies, and multilateral institutions. Students work with the MPH Internship Coordinator and their faculty advisor to identify an appropriate internship in St. Louis, nationally, or across the globe.
Careers
SLU’s public health graduates are employed at federal, state and local health agencies; consulting firms; consumer advocacy organizations; community-based organizations and health care centers; hospitals; research centers; and universities.
Within the first year of graduation, 99 percent* of our graduates are beginning their careers, participating in fellowships or furthering their graduate education.
