The 45-credit online MPH in Community Health Sciences will give you the core skills and competencies you need to ensure you become a more well-rounded public health professional.
Applied Practice Experience
With the MPH degree’s Applied Practice Experience (APE), you'll have the opportunity to gain hands-on, real-world experience in a public health organization while you earn your degree. You'll embark on your APE after you complete the foundational MPH courses, and you'll demonstrate your mastery of five key competencies: three foundational competencies outlined by the CEPH and two competencies outlined by program faculty.
Your APE is carefully planned alongside a faculty advisor and is supervised by a qualified public health preceptor. Tulane’s staff will work with you to find your APE placement in your local area — you can even complete your APE at your current employer so long as your practicum role differs from your current job.
