To empower more people who can help meet those challenges, we’ve reimagined our generalist master’s in public health degree as a 100% online master’s in public health program. This allows working professionals worldwide greater access to graduate education from one of the country’s best universities for public health.  

The online MPH degree program is designed for working professionals throughout the United States and internationally. We aim to create a globally diverse student body. Graduate students will enter the program with at least two years of work experience, so you can meaningfully grow your career and enliven class discussions.

Develop your public health practice through case-based pedagogy in Brown University’s online Master of Public Health degree program

In keeping with the Brown University School of Public Health motto, to learn public health by doing public health, we have revolutionized our Master of Public Health degree program curriculum through case-based learning. Brown University is one of the few schools of public health to use this compelling pedagogical approach.

Case-based learning in our public health online degree program allows you to tackle real-world cases exploring issues such as health care inequities and the COVID-19 pandemic, while also honing your skills in data analysis, leadership and communication. 

As one of the country’s best schools for public health — ranked among the top ten schools for NIH funding — you will study with world-class faculty who are eminent scholars and practitioners. Equipped with an internationally respected MPH degree from Brown, our Master of Public Health graduates go on to pursue further education and distinguished careers in government, politics, the nonprofit sector, healthcare, consulting and other areas.

The Brown University School of Public Health is accredited by the Council on Education in Public Health (CEPH).
