University of Central Oklahoma

The Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) in Community Engagement is rooted in the institution mission: “The University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) exists to help students learn by providing transformative education experiences to students so that they may become productive, creative, ethical and engaged citizens and leaders serving our global community. UCO contributes to the intellectual, cultural, economic, and social advancement of the communities and individuals it serves.”

As students address health promotion for the metro and state through community engagement, they actively incorporate ethics, creativity, and civic engagement in their work, allowing for transformational experiences for both themselves and the community in which they work. This program intentionally partners with community organizations in order to fill gaps and advance the health of all.
