Columbia Accelerated MPH
Leadership starts here
The Accelerated MPH is an intensive, one-year program designed for highly motivated professionals seeking to enhance their career with a degree in public health. The curriculum is similar to the innovative curriculum of the two-year Columbia MPH, but completed at a faster, more demanding pace.
Multiple Formats
Students may select to complete the Accelerated MPH in one of the Academic Departments (Epidemiology, Health Policy and Management, Population and Family Health, and Sociomedical Sciences) or through the General Public Health program.
All formats include five carefully timed and integrated components that ensure that learning in one part of the program informs activities and assignments in another.
Most candidates for the Accelerated MPH have one of the following qualifications:
- A doctoral degree (such as an MD, DDS, PhD, JD, DNSc, EdD, etc.)
- A nearly completed doctoral degree (within 24 months of completion)
- A Master’s degree (such as an MS, MA, MBA, MSN) and/or five years of post-undergraduate related work or research experience
