Social, Behavioral, and Population Sciences, MPH Tulane University

Program Description

The MPH program in the Department of Social, Behavioral, and Population Sciences provides advanced training and field applications in basic and applied public health program development, evaluation, and research to promote health equity. Our mission is to define and address the societal and structural bases of health inequities. The program has a strong emphasis on social determinants of health and theoretically based multi-level models of health promotion. The program prepares individuals for further graduate training or professional practice where graduates progress to careers in national and international government agencies (i.e., the Centers for Disease Control and state health departments), global nonprofit organizations, public health institutes, and academia. Graduates are expected to have responsibilities that would include program leadership, planning and evaluation, and applied research.
