Important Catalog Information for Summer 2020 Matriculants
Due to the planned consolidation during the summer of 2020, of the University of South Florida, the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, and the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee, into a single university with a fully aligned and integrated curriculum and a single set of academic policies and procedures, any undergraduate or graduate student who matriculates at one of the three USF institutions on or after May 18, 2020, will adhere to the curricula, policies, and procedures described in the 2020-21 USF undergraduate or graduate catalog, respectively.
Concentration: Public Health Education (Code: PPD)
Delivery: Traditional
Effective Fall 2022, this concentration title updated to Health Promotion and Behavior and some concentration requirements changed. Please view the Health Promotion and Behavior concentration page for more information.
The MSPH prepares students for careers oriented toward needs assessment, research and evaluation in community and family health. Graduates are prepared for employment in academic, clinical and other research areas. Each area of specialization and corresponding program of study is developed on an individual basis, guided by the student's interests and areas of expertise. A supervisory committee of three faculty members assists the student in planning appropriate coursework and directing the thesis. This program of study may be especially relevant to students whose future plans include a doctoral degree.
