TITLE OF WHAT OUR STUDENTS DO/WHAT MAKES THE PROGRAM UNIQUE

The University of Illinois (UIC) Master of Public Health (MPH) in Health Policy and Administration (HPA) believes that public health policy is more than healthcare delivery and your degree should teach you that.

Our faculty are researchers, practitioners, and educators, who generate and provide evidence to inform public health policy. We are thought leaders in the social determinants of health.

We connect our students to federal, state, and local entities, including government agencies, advocacy groups, and communitybased organizations that are engaged in public health policy.

Students gain the knowledge, skills, and tools to be effective public health policy leaders.
