Evaluating Online Public Health Degrees

Thanks to the efforts of public health schools to improve their distance education offerings, high-quality online degree programs are now available at every level – from undergraduate to graduate. Since public health is a hands-on profession, many schools have developed hybrid degrees. Courses are completed online, but internships and fieldwork are arranged in a student’s local area.

As you’re researching offerings, check to see if your school and program have:

  • Regional accreditation
  • CEPH accreditation (you can search for online degrees at the CEPH Degree Database)
  • Opportunities for practical experience (e.g. local fieldwork, internships, study abroad and service learning)
  • Distance learning support services
  • A strong “brick and mortar” reputation (Is there a school of public health? How much research does it conduct? Does it receive NIH funding? What kind of jobs do alumni hold?)
  • Respected faculty who teach the same courses online as they do on-campus
