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).

"The MPH program fundamentally reshaped how I understand public health challenges. Through coursework in epidemiology, biostatistics, and health data analysis, I gained tools to examine disease patterns, health systems, and outcomes at scale. The program also exposed me to the growing role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in research."

“Every experience in the MPH program challenges you in some way and helps you determine how you want to utilize your degree. Meeting experts in the medical field, sitting in on conversations that bridge research and practice, and having professors who genuinely care about our development have shaped my approach to my studies. With opportunities offered in virtual, in-person, and hybrid formats, it’s possible to keep exploring different areas of public health even while managing a busy schedule.”

“I wanted to be in an environment where public health challenges are not just discussed theoretically but observed and addressed in in real time. Mount Sinai’s MPH program offered a setting where academic learning, research and community impact intersect in meaningful way. The Global Mental Health concentration broadened my understanding of how stigma, access to care, cultural context and society influence mental health outcomes worldwide and challenged me to think about culturally responsive, community-based approaches to care. ”
