The Master of Public Health (MPH) in health policy and management is up and running in the Biden School. Many of the core courses are shared by students in the MPH in epidemiology, which is housed in UD's College of Health Sciences. MPH in health policy and management take specialized courses in content areas such as program evaluation, financial management, conflict resolution, and inequities in health and healthcare as well as public health electives from across the University.
Kim Isett, a new member of the Biden School faculty, is serving as program director for the MPH. Isett is an Organization Theorist research focuses on institutional pressures and dynamics in implementing government services, with a particular interest in the delivery of services to vulnerable populations, and the use of evidence in public decision-making.
MPH students are prepared for careers in health policy in applied public health settings: healthcare institutions, nonprofits, and local, state, or federal agencies. While in the program, students fulfill requirements for an applied practice experience and an integrative learning experience.
The first UD MPH students matriculated in fall 2019, and applications are open for future semesters.
