Earning your Master of Public Health degree from TCNJ will give you the knowledge and skills to protect and improve family and community health on local, national, and global levels. Choose from two tracks in this comprehensive, interdisciplinary program — epidemiology and health analytics or health communication — and enhance your leadership, critical thinking, and research capabilities. You’ll also open yourself up to a wide range of related career options.
Who Should Pursue This Program?
Are you looking to serve the public and do your part to improve health outcomes? This accelerated program can be a great option if you’re a current TCNJ student interested in public health. TCNJ students working toward a BS or BA degree in a relevant discipline take five graduate courses toward MPH requirements during their Junior and Senior years. Earning an MPH with this option usually takes one additional year beyond the undergraduate degree.
Application Requirements
First-year and transfer applicants may apply for accelerated bachelor’s to master’s degrees. Admission into the graduate portion of the program is based on performance at the undergraduate level. Current undergraduate TCNJ students may be eligible for an accelerated program if they meet program requirements. They should consult the graduate director, Sylvia Twersky, at twerskys@tcnj.edu for more information.
