Welcome to the... University of Nebraska Medical Center & University of Nebraska-Omaha Master of Public Health Program
UNMC/UNO MPH Program Re-Accredited in 2009 for Maximum 7 Year Term! The UNMC/UNO MPH Program completed its accreditation process in June 2009 and was re-accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health until July 1, 2016.

The UNMC/UNO Master of Public Health Program is a specialized professional masters degree program designed to prepare graduates for work in public health. Public health practice is increasingly regarded as important to citizen well-being as a means to better health and potential reduction in costs for critical care. Core courses, consistent with accreditation standards, focus on the areas of knowledge basic to public health. This value-based academic program will emphasize the areas of prevention, scientific knowledge base, interdependency with other areas of knowledge and practice, and social justice. Material in core and elective courses will pay particular attention to health status, health outcomes, and health needs in special populations (e.g., racial and ethnic minorities, children, women). Statistics related to these populations, as well as cultural and etiological considerations, will be discussed throughout the curriculum in an effort to instill in students the need for awareness of the health differences in population groups. The goal of this orientation is to equip program graduates to address society's public health needs. Elective courses will be drawn from the broad base of courses currently available at UNO and UNMC. | ||||||||
