The MPH courses and other requirements for the degree relate directly to the accomplishment of the public health and discipline-specific competencies.

•  Core Public Health Competencies

Concentration/Discipline Specific Competencies

The core competencies represent basic public health knowledge and do not necessarily contain many skills that are necessary for the performance of certain jobs within certain practice settings. Thus, concentration competencies to be mastered by students upon graduation from the MPH program were taken from sources that specify discipline specific outcomes. Health Promotion, Education & Evaluation concentration competencies were taken from “Areas of Responsibilities for Health Educators” (National Commission on Health Education Credentialing, 2010). Competencies for the other two concentrations were taken from “Master’s Degree in Public Health Core Competency Development Project” (Association of Schools of Public Health, 2007). All graduates in these concentrations will also attain the concentration learning outcomes outlined below.

• Health Promotion, Education & Evaluation
• Applied Biostatistics & Epidemiology
• Leadership & Management
