The University of Washington’s Department of Global Health Master of Public Health (MPH) program is one of the premier global health programs in the world. The program offers a social justice and practical skills-based framework so graduates can make a difference wherever they work. Students exit with core public health skills in research, analytic methods, proposal development, management, implementation science, health metrics and evaluation, and a deeper understanding of the social, economic, and political determinants of health. Our students and alumni tell us these are some of reasons they choose the University of Washington:
- interdisciplinary approach to global health issues
- collaborative, cohort-based programming with 35-50 new students annually, including approximately 1/3 foreign students, all with prior global health experience
- accessible faculty with decades of experience in global health who combine teaching, research, and practice
- partnerships with organizations locally and around the world
- funding for under-represented students
