Overview

Our Public Health program at the New York University focuses on training innovative leaders who will develop, implement, and disseminate evidence-based programs and policies to address global public health issues, framed by a health equity lens. Students are trained by an interdisciplinary faculty with expertise in research and practice, and they benefit from NYU’s location in New York City and an expansive global network.

Features

GPH uses an interdisciplinary approach in its DrPH curriculum, with training in the areas of data and analysis; leadership, management, and governance; policy and programs; and education and workforce development.

The GPH program has a specialized focus on communication, collaboration, leadership, implementation science, and ethics.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

A total of 42 credit hours is required for the DrPH, including 15 credits of electives. Students are expected to complete the degree within five to seven years, depending on previous academic coursework in public health, and whether the student is registered on a full-time or part-time basis.

GPH strongly believes in the importance of faculty mentoring. Early in the first semester, each DrPH student will be assigned a faculty mentor, based on areas of common interest.
