Master of Public Health Concentrations

Starting in Fall 2024, Saint Louis University's Master of Public Health program will offer five concentrations, allowing you to develop specialized skills that your future employers will find more valuable.​ M.P.H. students in SLU's 42-credit hour programs may double-count six credit hours of their M.P.H. electives toward any 12-credit hour certificate.

Whether you like to investigate disease outbreaks, crunch numbers or develop policies and programs to help communities lead healthier lives, SLU's concentrations will equip you with the real-world skills you rely on in your future career. Here's our full list of concentrations:

• Behavioral Science and Health Equity
• Biostatistics
• Epidemiology
• Health Management and Policy
• Public Health Practice (Online)

**The reimagined 42-credit hour program will include a limited number of M.P.H. concentrations, but students may add an optional certificate for just six additional credit hours.
