Program Overview

Through CUW’s online Master of Public Health (MPH) program, our students will be prepared to resolve complex health issues and enhance the well-being of communities. The MPH dual degree program allows you to focus on an Applied Community and Population Health Concentration to complement your passion for service and the desire to improve public health. While the MPH courses are offered online, the PharmD courses must be taken face-to-face at the School of Pharmacy in Mequon, Wisconsin.

Applied Community and Population Health Concentration

Concordia’s MPH dual program empowers you to promote health, prevent disease, and serve your community with purpose. Rooted in Concordia’s Christian mission, this program blends science, evidence-based practice, and servant leadership to prepare you to address today’s most pressing public health challenges.
