University of Alabama At Birmingham

When you combine the health care resources here at UAB with Birmingham's urban environment, you have the ingredients you need to receive a world-class public health education. In fact, we can prepare you to study and address health epidemics, community organizations, obesity, drugs, and other issues.

To combat these problems, we've developed a comprehensive program that you can tailor to meet your specific goals. We have fully online opportunities, fast-track master's programs, internships, and more—not to mention a wide variety of concentrations. In the end, you'll hold the premiere degree offered for developing practice-based skills in this field from the only accredited school of public health in the entire state of Alabama. Better yet, we want you to be ready for a career in local, state, and federal agencies, private organizations, and more.

• UAB's online MPH program is one of the best of its kind, according to OnlineMasters.com. Pay the same tuition as in-state students if you complete your degree online.
• The program has many internships opportunities with Birmingham community partners, including Birmingham AIDS Outreach, Jefferson County Health Department, Project HOPE, Red Barn, United Way of Central Alabama, and many more.
