Public Health (Certificate NDP)

About

The Graduate Certificate in Public Health provides working professionals a flexible and convenient option for advancing their public health training. Offered through the Main, Arizona Online, and Global Online Experience Campuses, it can be completed in one to four years.

The certificate is affiliated with the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree and consists of the five core courses that are required of all MPH graduates. Upon completion of the certificate, students who are admitted to the MPH program may apply all fifteen credits to their degree.

Domestic applicants choose between taking courses as a member of the Main or Arizona Online Campus. International students apply to the Global Online Experience Campus. Main Campus students have the choice of taking courses either in-person or online. Arizona Online students and Global Online Expeience students enjoy the flexibility of completing the curriculum completely online and do not pay the non-resident tuition rate when they have non-Arizona resident status.
