The Public Health program currently offers three graduate certificates for specialized study in public health. These certificates, all of which are available either on-campus or online, may be taken by either degree or non-degree seeking students (except as noted below).
For students who pursue a graduate certificate only, no transfer credits can be accepted toward the graduate certificates at UIS. All hours to be counted toward certificates must be completed at UIS.
Applications are accepted online through the UIS Application. MPH accepts applications at any time. Application requirements vary by program, though most require transcripts, proof of English proficiency (for international students), letters of recommendation, and a CV or résumé. Please select your program of interest below to learn more.
