Working Together to Change the World
Cornell University offers a campus-wide Master of Public Health (MPH) Program to help build public health leaders who are inspired and trained to ensure the health of people, animals, and the world in which we live.
Our program is founded on three pillars—Sustainability, Equity, and Engagement—that inform our approach to teaching, research, service, and practice. Our small class sizes and engaged-learning approach give our students uncommon flexibility in developing the skills they need to make an impact in their desired careers. And, by working with community partners, our students turn theory into practice while preparing to become future leaders of the public health workforce.
Our Curriculum
Our core curriculum provides students with the skills, tools, and foundational knowledge to become general public health practitioners, while our concentration courses allow our students to become specialists in their chosen field.
