Master of Public Health
The Master of Public Health (MPH) degree prepares students in the art and science of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through organized community outreach. Public health differs from other health programs in that it focuses on large population groups instead of individuals. It emphasizes promoting health and wellness as ultimate goals and prevention over cure. Choose from one of six concentrations.
Master of Health Administration
The Master of Health Administration (MHA) program has been preparing students for careers as healthcare administrators for more than thirty years. It is the only CAHME (Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education) – accredited program in Arkansas, and our graduates work in organizations involved in the provision, financing, insuring, and regulation of healthcare. The curriculum is developmentally structured, with each semester’s work building on previous semesters.
