What are the academic expectations of the MPH Distance Education Program?
In one word: Commitment! Potential applicants must recognize that this is a serious, fast-paced, academic experience that is taught by career professors and public health practitioners. For many courses, there are only weekend breaks between each course. There is a two-week break during late December and early January and a short 10-day break in late July and early August. There is a heavy reading load, as is typical of all public health graduate programs. Generally, students will read approximately 800 pages per course and have several writing assignments. Students can expect to spend at least 10 to 20 hours per week for each class. In effect, students must have excellent time-management skills and be able to balance their professional, personal, and academic commitments. Most classes, but not all, will have a once-a-week live class session, using the Elluminate Live instructional platform. Students are expected to have good computer skills and easy and consistent access to the intern
