Doctor of Public Health (DrPH)

The Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) is a professional degree designed for those looking to lead and enhance public health practices. It prepares individuals to address complex health issues through research, policy development, and community engagement. Unlike a PhD, which focuses on academic research, the DrPH emphasizes practical application in real-world settings, aiming to improve health outcomes at community, state, and national levels. Graduates typically work in public health leadership, managing programs and influencing health policies to promote wellbeing and prevent disease across populations.
