Academics

The Master of Public Health Program at Claremont Graduate University offers an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to public health education. Students complete a 48-credit program, consisting of the following 13 courses:

• Nine core courses which cover the core public health competencies and provide a foundation for further coursework in a chosen concentration

• Choice of one of four concentrations, with four courses required in each. Students can specialize in (1) Health Promotion, Education and Evaluation; (2) Applied Biostatistics and Epidemiology; (3) Leadership and Management; or (4) Health Informatics (Applications are not currently being accepted for this concentration).

• One general elective course from any of the university's schools, subject to approval of the Program Director

• A proposal writing seminar introducing students to the principles of grantsmanship

• A supervised field training course, providing work experience in a public health agency or a faculty sponsored research project, with the purpose of integrating course concepts into a real world setting

• A capstone project whereby students demonstrate mastery of public health competencies
