Master of Public Health (MPH) | Icahn School of Medicine

The Master of Public Health (MPH) program at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai prepares our students with the knowledge and practical skills to prevent disease and promote good health in partnership with the communities they serve. Through interdisciplinary research and innovation, policy analysis, and advocacy, our MPH program empowers you to translate science into real-world solutions that promote public health locally, nationally, and globally. Our MPH students come from diverse academic and professional backgrounds and go on to pursue impactful careers in many diverse settings, including public health research and practice, government agencies, industry, academia, non-profit organizations, and private sectors.

The MPH program is fully accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health and follows a rigorous, competency-based curriculum. The 45-credit, two-year program offers four concentration areas that are specifically designed to address current critical public health needs at local and global scales:

General Public Health
Epidemiology & Biostatistics
Global Health
Public Health Data Analytics

Concentrations allow students to tailor coursework to the subject matter that most interests them and aligns with their future career goals. Our students also have the opportunity to further customize their education by designing a minor area of focus in collaboration with their advisor.

Hands-on learning is a core component of our MPH program. All MPH students engage in multiple practical skill-building opportunities throughout their coursework and further expand their practical skills through an Applied Practice Experience (APE) and a culminating experience (e.g., master's thesis, manuscript, or capstone project).
