Graduate Certificate in Public Health

Graduate Certificate in Public Health
Are you a professional seeking a program that highlights the core concepts of public health without the requirement of a practicum and concentration? The Graduate Certificate in Public Health is designed for individuals in the medical and health sciences fields, at the individual or organizational level, who also want to apply these concepts at a population level.
Here, you’ll have the opportunity to understand the foundational science of public health without completing the entire Master of Public Health degree program. You can also gain an improved application of health and wellness principles, advocacy, and policy at the population level, and across the entire socioecological model.
Prepare for all 22 foundational competencies in public health promoted by the Council for Education on Public Health (CEPH). With this graduate certificate, you can gain concepts, constructs, and applications related to:
- Public health biostatistics
- Epidemiology
- Environmental health
- Public health administration
- Theoretical applications
- Research methods
This certificate is associated with Liberty University’s Master of Public Health degree program and is available to graduate students in any major.
