School of Health Sciences, College of Public Service
Jackson State University

The program is designed to prepare graduates to become competent practitioners, research scientists and public health advocates; to conduct original research; design, implement and evaluate health intervention programs; disseminate knowledge to students and to the scientific community; and to translate research findings into practical applications and health policy by working collaboratively with communities and agencies in the field.

Graduates can expect to compete effectively in the job market and be responsive to the challenges posed by disparities in health and healthcare, particularly those affecting minorities and other historically underserved populations. The program is recruiting students with an MPH degree or a master's degree in a public health-related discipline.
