The Master of Public Health is a professional degree that is offered in five concentrations: biostatistics, behavioral and community health sciences, environmental and occupational health sciences, epidemiology and health policy and systems management.
Our competency-based curricula prepare students for success in a variety of careers in public health. Through their chosen degree program, students attain the requisite knowledge and skills to engage successfully in today’s public health practice, research and teaching. Courses are developed in direct relationship with the degree’s competencies to ensure all students acquire the needed competencies. School and program competencies were established through a collaborative process of consultation with school faculty, peer institutions and professional organizations in public health disciplines. In 2010, the LSUSHC SPH faculty and students formally adopted the current competencies.
