The University of Illinois Springfield’s Master of Public Health Program has been honored with the Public Health Program of Excellence Award from the Illinois Public Health Association.
Aisha Katsina Isa, a University of Illinois Springfield student pursuing a master’s degree in public health, was honored with the Emerging Public Health Leader Award at the Illinois Public Health Association (IPHA) 83rd Annual Meeting and Conference on Nov. 19, 2024.
A minor in Public Health is designed for students who wish to develop an introductory awareness and preparation for dealing with critical local, state, national and global issues important to improving population health. Because public health practice requires a foundation in the social and natural sciences, a minor in public health pairs well with a number of the undergraduate majors at UIS (e.g., biology, chemistry, biochemistry, sociology, psychology, environmental studies, global studies and liberal studies or students pursuing nursing, the pre-med track, or allied health professions).
The Master of Public Health (MPH) General program provides students with a comprehensive understanding of public health principles, preparing them to address complex health challenges in diverse populations. The program requires a minimum of 48 credit hours, encompassing core courses and concentration courses that cover essential topics such as epidemiology, biostatistics, public health policy, environmental health and health education.
Students completing this certificate will develop analytic and computer skills to quantitatively relate epidemiologic theories necessary for specialized roles for public health practice, such as for infectious disease epidemiology.
Risk assessment is a frequently used tool in environmental analysis. This certificate is for students who wish to acquire a level of competency in this science. The sequence of course work is technically oriented to provide students with the professional education necessary to perform introductory-level risk assessment in their workplaces. Students learn to relate risk assessment methodologies, procedures and results to environmental health policies.
The MPH-Environmental Health (EH) degree provided by the public health program offers cross-disciplinary education opportunities and intentional integration of science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) and associated practices. The MPH-EH program is a STEM-Designated degree and accredited curriculum through the National Environmental Health, Science and Protection Accreditation Council (EHAC).
This program is not currently accepting students.
This graduate certificate is designed to provide opportunities for continuing education for health professionals without formal public health training, for those interested in life-long learning and for mid-career professionals. Certificate course work may be taken either as a non-degree seeking student or in conjunction with other graduate work.
