{{Globalize/USA}}

The '''Master of Public Health'''  ('''MPH''') is a professional [[master's degree]] awarded for studies in areas related to [[public health]]. In the United States the [[Council on Education for Public Health]] (CEPH) accredit schools of public health through a formal review process. Master of Public Health program are available throughout the world in Medical Schools and School of Public Health.

MPH is usually a one or two year program{{fact|date=July 2007}}, with many students already possessing an advanced degree. In some countries the MPH program is only available for medical graduates ([[MBBS]] or equivalent), those without the medical degree can join the Master of Medical Science in Public Health program.

The degree is designed to expose the candidates on five core public health areas: 

<ol><li>Health Services Administration/Management</li>
<li>Biostatistics</li><li>Epidemiology</li><li>Behavioral sciences/health education, and</li> <li>Occupational and Environmental Health Sciences.</li></ol>

In addition to coursework, CEPH programs have a thesis and practicum requirement which may be waived if the candidate has substantial prior experience in the field. Program other than CEPH also may have other requirements.
