The Best Masters Programs<\/a> has ranked the UNMC College of Public Health sixth in its listing of the 25 top online public health programs in the United States for 2019.<\/p>\n

The College of Public Health offers multiple online master’s degrees and several certificate options. Six MPH degree concentrations are accessible completely online — in biostatistics, environmental and occupational health, epidemiology, health services administration, health promotion, and maternal and child health. A master’s in science in emergency preparedness also is offered. All programs require 45-credit hours and share some of the same core curriculum.<\/p>\n

College of Public Health Dean Ali S. Khan, M.D., M.P.H., said UNMC’s public health program is stellar.<\/p>\n

“Our online MPH program allows students across the U.S. and globe to get the same quality, world-class public health education at a great value as our students in the American heartland. Our ranking reflects the investment we have made in our teaching faculty and every student’s tailored online experience.<\/p>\n

“Just as on-campus, we have advisors, online library resources and career services available to online students,” he said. “The only difference in their education experience is the flexibility and convenience of gaining their degree.”<\/p>\n

Best Masters Programs is an independent online guide to the best traditional and online master’s degree programs, according to its website. The ranking considers Council on Education for Public Health-accredited public health schools that offer online and hybrid MPH degree programs. Programs were ranked according to four factors: cost, reputation, salary potential and student reviews, using data from College Scorecard, Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, Niche and U.S. News & World Report.<\/p>\n

The first five ranked schools are:
\n1. Oregon Health & Science University and Portland State University
\n2. University of California, Berkeley
\n3. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
\n4. University of Florida
\n5. Texas A&M Health Science Center<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
