The Program in Public Health, coordinated by the Department of Preventive Medicine, offers a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree to students seeking 1) a broad perspective on the definition of health highlighting the concepts of prevention, health promotion, health care organization and delivery, and population-based research and intervention; 2) an interdisciplinary public health knowledge base derived from biomedical and social scientific theories and empiric evidence; and 3) the quantitative, educational, organizational, and practical skills to ensure that all graduates will be successful in future public health practice, teaching, and/or research endeavors.

The combined MD/MPH program is available to first-year medical students in The Feinberg School of Medicine. Students in the combined degree program may earn both the MD and MPH degrees in four years.

Applicants should contact the program or see Web site www.publichealth.northwestern.edu to learn about program-specific requirements for admission.
