Distance learning offers public health professionals the opportunity to communicate with their peers throughout the world, and to learn the principles and applications of public health from well respected, accredited institutions. As you navigate through the distance education section of our site, you will note that the schools of public health offer a wide range of concentrations, from biostatistics to public health leadership to environmental health science. Some courses may be self-paced, others meet weekly online. Some combine distance learning with on-campus monthly workshops. Fourteen schools currently offer a Master's in Public Health through distance learning or a combination of distance learning and on-campus workshops.
Many schools also offer certificate programs or other forms of continuing education credit.
Some offer courses for professionals who seek to update their skills in a specific subject matter for no credit. The variety of programs available through the schools will give you flexibility in determining which program is right for you. You will find a detailed summary of each school and the programs currently offered. We are in the process of making information on the distance education programs easily accessible, so that you will be able to quickly locate courses and programs by subject and by type.
