Why the YSPH Executive MPH?

Our Executive MPH program is unique. Designed for working professionals, we bring together a Yale-caliber education with the accessibility of online learning and authentic connection to peers through a cohort-based program, marked by real-time discussions and intensive onsite trainings in management and leadership skills on Yale’s campus. In making a rigorous Yale degree accessible to learners who cannot relocate or enroll in full time study, our two-year hybrid program seeks to advance both our students’ careers and public health as a field, by bringing a broader range of perspectives into the community of experts working to improve population health.

The Yale School of Public Health has been a leader in public health education, research, and training for over 100 years. Our Executive Master of Public Health program extends that legacy by fostering a collaborative learning community designed for learners like you. Join us to invest in an invaluable education, connect with world-renowned faculty, and build life-long relationships with a community of experienced peers who share your passion for leading transformative change in public health.

This rigorous, two-year, part-time, hybrid program blends comprehensive online education with three in-person management and leadership training experiences on the Yale campus.

  • Faculty

    Distinguished Yale faculty, including two members of the National Academy of Medicine, two department chairs, and multiple winners of the school’s teaching and mentoring awards.
  • Leadership

    Management and leadership training is an explicit part of the curriculum, both through onsite intensives and focused online courses.

  • Community

    We utilize cohort-based learning—you start and end as a group—and we work actively to create a learning community, so you learn from each other and develop relationships during your time in the program and beyond.

  • Quality

    Courses are developed by a team of university specialists in online teaching and learning and produced in a professional broadcast studio.

  • Focus

    Our focus is you—as an individual, learner, and working professional. The school prides itself on individual attention; a tradition we continue in the Executive MPH.

  • Yale

    You will come to Yale three times for our four-day intensives, giving you a chance to meet faculty in person, build community with your EMPH peers, and enjoy Yale’s campus together.
