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 leadership and executive 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.

Thank you for your interest in our Executive MPH Program. At the Yale School of Public Health, we believe that working professionals should have access to the core training, individualized attention, faculty excellence, and interdisciplinary approach that form the foundation of our onsite MPH program, even when relocating to pursue an advanced degree is not an option. To that end, our Executive MPH combines online learning and onsite leadership intensives with a curriculum focused on the knowledge and skills working professionals need to succeed in their chosen careers. This part-time program is designed intentionally to support students’ success while they balance the challenges of pursuing a graduate degree while working, juggling family obligations, or both.

Public health as a field is stronger when it incorporates a wider breadth of lived experiences and perspectives alongside expertise. If public health is your passion—whether you plan to pursue a career move into public health or are an established practitioner seeking to strengthen key research and public health leadership skills— join us. Pursue an Executive MPH at the Yale School of Public Health, and you will receive a Yale-caliber education to fuel your professional aspirations and amplify your impact on the public health issues that matter most to you.

I look forward to getting to know each of you and celebrating your accomplishments throughout the program.

Warmly,

Dr. Abigail S. Friedman, PhD
Associate Professor of Health Policy and Faculty Director of Online and Non-degree Programs, Yale School of Public Health
