Public health is a multidisciplinary and collaborative field of study integrating the biological, social, psychological, anthropological, political, and environmental sciences to improve health outcomes among populations. There is a high demand for trained public health professionals as a result of the increased prevalence of chronic diseases, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, environmental health concerns, trends toward population health management in health care, health care reform, and global health concerns. Grand Canyon University's (GCU) Master of Public Health (MPH) program prepares graduates to apply public health theories to relevant and emerging health issues in order to develop, implement, lead, and evaluate health promotion and disease prevention programs through collaborative partnerships. The program prepares students for leadership positions in state and local health departments, international government agencies, nonprofit organizations, health policy and planning organizations, health care organizations, universities, community-based education programs, and faith-based ministries addressing public health issues. The curriculum combines core subject areas like epidemiology, environmental health, quantitative analysis and interpretation, health policy, social and behavioral factors, planning, and evaluation with unique applications to community engagement and health ministry. The program culminates with a practicum and capstone project that students are able to design based on their professional interest area.
