Program Overview

Taking the next step in your career doesn’t have to include a full MPH degree. Nor does it require you to quit your job and move locally. SPHHS is pleased to offer our Graduate Certificate in Public Health. The 12-credit program prepares you to apply for one of our MPH concentrations or simply gain knowledge of core public health concepts and earn a micro credential.

Offered fully online, the program includes just 4 classes that can be completed in two semesters. All coursework, pending a successful application, can be transferred toward your MPH degree. The transfers are accepted into any of the SPHHS MPH programs, including the campus and online programs. You just need to pass all 4 with a B or better.
