Frequently Asked Questions

A Master of Public Health or MPH is a graduate degree that prepares students to work in the field public health. The MPH is considered a terminal degree meaning it is the degree expected for professionals to enter public health practice.

While most MPH graduates will work in public health practice, the MPH can also serve as a pathway to earning a doctoral degree such as a Doctor of Public Health (DrPH), a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), a medical degree (MD or DO), or other health professions training program.

 

The goals of the Fairfield online MPH program are to:

  1. Recruit and retain diverse students from a broad geographic area who demonstrate promise as public health practitioners and leaders.

  4. Contribute to public health knowledge through interdisciplinary research and practice.

The online MPH program is delivered asynchronously using the learning management system, Blackboard. This means students can access the lecture materials, assignments, exams, and discussion boards at a time and place convenient to them.

Specific deadlines will be provided by individual faculty members. Faculty will often hold optional live study sessions and weekly virtual office hours.

The MPH program director must approve this option. The fieldwork course also includes a leadership and professional development seminar.
