Important Catalog Information

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: Behavioral Health (Code: PBH)   
Delivery: Traditional

The MSPH in Behavioral Health prepares students for careers oriented toward research, evaluation, translational research, implementation sciences, and investigating co-occurring mental and physical disorders as well as research in co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. Graduates are prepared for employment in academic, clinical and other research in health and behavioral health. Each area of specialization and the 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.
