[Extended Degree Program]

Hello,

Please forward this information on to your listserve participants.

The UW Extended MPH Degree Program is a partial distance learning 
program for public health or related professionals. The program is 
accredited, relevant, supportive, affordable, and personal. Graduates 
from the program have become leaders in their fields. The average class 
size for a cohort is 23-26. Students have the benefit of working with 
expert researchers, practitioners, and fellow classmates who are 
themselves experts.

 

Applications are being taken now through April.

or email  uwedp at u.washington.edu

for more information.

 

The MPH can be completed in approximately two years and combines 
individualized study with a periodic on-site component. The onsite 
commitment involves one month the first summer, three weeks the second 
summer and a two-week period during a third summer. Four on-site weekend 
seminars per year are also required for the first two years. Studies 
continue while off-site using the web and email. Most electives are 
available via partial or total distance learning. GREs are required, but 
the program will accept results from earlier GREs if you have a copy.

 

Students have multiple focus options, such as global health, maternal 
and child health, health education, nutrition, policy, environmental 
health, or a focused electives option that allows you to mix and match. 
Elective courses are also available to professionals in the field for 
lifelong learning. The average class size is 5-10 people, so students 
get the benefit of working very closely with their professors.

 

ExDP also offers a certificate option for those who are not sure they 
want or need the full MPH. The Graduate Certificate in Public Health is 
the first full year of the MPH, 25-29 credits, and all credits may be 
transferred to the MPH if a student is later accepted to the MPH. GREs 
are not required for the Certificate.

Take care.
