The Master of Public Health (MPH) degree is a multidisciplinary professional degree emphasizing the practical aspects of public health. The program is designed to give both clinicians and non-clinical professional’s knowledge and skills in core public health competencies to promote the health of populations in today’s rapidly changing environment. Our MPH program develops professionals with the research skills to critically evaluate public health literature and put those results into practice. Not only do we prepare professionals to be leaders in evidence-based public health practice we also focus on patient-centered care and community health.
At Augusta University, you’ll find a comprehensive educational experience designed to prepare leaders who understand the important role of public health in today’s society and are equipped with critical-thinking, problem-solving, and information-management skills that improve health care delivery and promote public health.

HEALTH MANAGEMENT The MPH concentration in Health Management equips professionals with an interdisciplinary knowledge base and skill set for administrative and leadership positions in the increasingly complex health care and public health sectors.

"In large part because of the flexibility of completing the program course work online.
The online classes allow me to be flexible with my schedule since I am a Health Inspector
for the Georgia Department of Public Health. I truthfully don't know how I would manage
it all if it wasn't online. All in all, it's a well-designed program and I take my
hat off to AU for offering it."
