The Oregon MPH program is designed for persons with an existing bachelor's or higher degree in a related field, who wish to obtain further formal education in the field of public health. Through the OMPH Program, persons with experience in the health professions will increase their knowledge of population-based health to prepare them for expanded administrative, service, research, and policy careers. Those persons who do not yet have experience in the health field will receive the broad-based education needed to prepare them for a variety of professional health-related careers.
