Professional Certificates & Degrees
Our professional certificate and degree programs (certificates, MPH, MHA, DrPH) emphasize solving public health or health care problems by applying multidisciplinary approaches and methods in public health practice settings, such as local, state or national public health agencies and health care organizations. These degrees are administered on a college-wide basis with specialization in a particular department.
Academic Degrees
Our academic degrees (MS and PhD) are designed to prepare students for academic and research roles and settings. These programs emphasize students' understanding of theoretical issues and application of disciplinary methods to the study of public health. Academic degrees are offered and administered by each individual department and the University of Nebraska Graduate College.
