Public Health (MPH), Health Systems Administration and Policy

The mission of the Public Health (MPH) program is to prepare culturally and professionally competent leaders in community health education by providing an interdisciplinary academic and experiential program with a focus on social justice. Through this program, students will master public health knowledge and skills while developing professional values and dispositions. Graduates of the program will be prepared for careers as public health leaders in local and state health departments, public and private health agencies, voluntary organizations focused on specific health issues (e.g. cancer or heart health), schools, health care settings, community-based organizations, policy and advocacy organizations, and other settings in which health monitoring and health education initiatives are implemented.

The Health Systems Administration and Policy concentration aims to prepare public health professionals with strategic skills for the management and administration of hospitals and healthcare systems with a focus on prevention and in service of social justice and health equity.

Hear from current students and alumni on their experiences in the Public Health (MPH) programs at Montclair State University:

“I pursued the MPH program at Montclair State because the program embodies the understanding of health equity and social justice, which are so crucial to studying and understanding public health. The faculty and staff have their finger on the pulse of student interests and professional goals. This attention afforded me the opportunity to engage in ongoing research that I was passionate about. While there are many options in the tri-state area for an MPH, the program at Montclair State gives you something you can’t always find at those other institutions – a commitment to the student.”
Paul Santos – Master of Public Health Alumni
