GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN PUBLIC HEALTH (GCPH)


The GCPH is designed for prospective students currently employed in public health as well as those interested in public health in general but unable to commit to the full Masters of Public Health program. The GCPH is open to applicants with a bachelor's degree in any discipline.

The GCPH requires 19 quarter credit hours of study which can be pursued on a part-time basis. Students successfully completing the GCPH will be eligible to matriculate into any track within the Oregon MPH Program and will have the 19 credits of coursework applied to their MPH program. The GCPH is offered in an online format.

The courses within this program provide opportunities for learning about epidemiology and biostatistics, environmental health, health care improvement strategies and health behavior, health policy development, and the organizational basis of the health care system.

The GCPH is currently being offered through one of the OMPH Program partners, Oregon Health and Science University at School of Nursing. For more information go to: http://www.ohsu.edu/xd/education/schools/school-of-nursing/programs/graduate/specialities/public-health/public-health-program.cfm#GCPH
