The USF College of Public Health DrPH degree is completed through distance‐learning (fall, spring, and summer semesters) in addition to on‐campus learning via the 1‐week DrPH Institute. The combination of program delivery formats allows working professionals to broaden their grasp of public health management, practice, and research without interrupting their careers. We have been offering the DrPH Institute in the Summer semester, but we are going to move it to the Fall semesters. For current students, there will be a transition period from Summer to Fall.
