Welcome to the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health!
 Distinguished for our outstanding community-based research and for our focus on eliminating health disparities, particularly among populations of the Southwest, MEZCOPH offers public health at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Health Education Program
The Health Education Program offers the Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences degree with the option of a major in school health education or a
major in community health education.
Master of Public Health (MPH) Program
The Master of Public Health (MPH) program, designed to be an interdisciplinary professional degree program, provides an opportunity for students to obtain broad knowledge and skills in the core areas of public health. Students are able to acquire proficiency in one or more specialized areas through advanced coursework, and gain experience in applying advanced knowledge to the solution of actual health problems in community settings during the internship experience. The MPH program is a two year program for full-time students; part-time students may take up to six years to complete the program. The MPH offers six areas of concentration:
Master of Science (MS) in Epidemiology
The Master of Science in Epidemiology is designed for individuals who seek training in epidemiological research. It is anticipated that graduates will occupy positions as research administrators, program managers, analysts, and evaluators in universities, health departments, governmental agencies, and similar organizations.
PhD in Epidemiology
The PhD in Epidemiology trains individuals for careers in research and teaching in academic settings, research institutes, government agencies and industry. It has been designed for students whose careers will focus on conducting investigator-initiated and collaborative epidemiologic research.
The PhD minor in Epidemiology is designed for individuals from other University of Arizona doctoral degree programs who wish to obtain graduate training in Epidemiology.
PhD in Biostatistics
The PhD in Biostatistics will have an emphasis on the foundations of statistical reasoning and will require its graduates to complete rigorous training in applied probability and statistical analyses. This new program will prepare students who have demonstrated excellence in mathematics and the sciences to become research biostatisticians in academia, industry, or government.
Doctorate of Public Health (DrPH)
The Doctorate of Public Health (DrPH) is an advanced, professional degree program designed for the student who has an MPH degree or its equivalent and who intends to pursue a leadership career as a public health professional. The DrPH program is unique as it focuses on developing future leaders in public health practice, who will advance the public’s health through the integration and application of a broad range of knowledge and analytical skills in leadership, practice, policy analysis, research, program management, and professional communication.
Arizona Clinical Research Training Program
The AZ Clinical Research Training Program prepares clinician scientists for the complexities of clinical research through high-quality didactic instruction and mentored research experiences.
Graduate Certificate in Public Health
The Graduate Certificate in Public Health is a flexible and convenient program designed for working professionals. The certificate program consists of the five core courses in the Master of Public Health (MPH) program, with credit transferreable to the MPH program.
