As a student in the Master of Public Health in Community Health and Prevention, you will learn about the major drivers of community health, obtain the skills you need to design, implement, and evaluate public health interventions, and learn how to improve health through meaningful partnerships with community stakeholders. Community Health and Prevention faculty focus on a range of topics including public health ethics, the individual, social and structural determinants of health, the use of theory to understand health behavior, and the implementation and evaluation of public health interventions and policies. Our students are trained in the application of mixed methods – the use of both quantitative and qualitative approaches in data collection and analysis to understand, promote and sustain community health. The student's classroom and practical experiences will foster the development of practical skills relevant to obtaining a career in public health upon graduation. Our graduates design, implement, manage, and evaluate health promotion programs and policies. They are leaders in health education, community organization, and advocacy efforts that promote the health of communities in domestic and global settings.
