Thank you for your interest in the master of public health (MPH) degree at Brown University’s Program in Public Health. Our degree program is uniquely situated, spanning both the University and The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, making it an appealing setting for public health training for individuals from a variety of educational backgrounds and careers.

The MPH program is rooted in Brown’s tradition of academic excellence and innovative collaboration across disciplines. In fact, the field of public health is much like Brown itself: grounded in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary synergies and focused on service to populations.

Public health is a discipline devoted to preventing disease and promoting health in the human population. The threats challenging the health of the public include a variety of acute and chronic diseases and conditions including AIDS, addiction, obesity, and aging and some pervasive conditions based on gender, race, socioeconomics, and level of education. Graduate study in public health at Brown has a singular purpose: to train leaders in public health who are armed with the skills to conduct research, bring about policy change, and positively affect the health of populations.

We appreciate your interest in the Master of Public Health program.

Accreditation Update

In October 2007, the Brown University Master of Public Health Program received seven-year reaccreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). Accreditation is a voluntary process initiated by the university. Once accredited, a school or program is reviewed at regular intervals. We believe that accreditation advances the field of public health by promoting standards of practice and advocating rigorous preparation of future public health professionals.
