Non-degree Coursework in Public Health
Individuals who would like to enroll in Master of Public Health (MPH) courses to advance their public health knowledge for personal or professional enrichment, but who do not necessarily want to be admitted to the MPH degree program are eligible to apply for non-degree student status. Non-degree students may enroll in a maximum of six credits. Additionally, non-degree students who later apply and are accepted to the MPH degree program may request that coursework already completed be applied toward their degree requirements.
For further details, review the Student Catalog and Handbook.
