Master of Public Health with a Concentration in Global Health: The Accelerated Track

The Master of Public Health with a concentration in Global Health at the FIU Robert Stempel College of Public Health & Social Work in Miami, Florida, trains students to apply global health principles to both domestic and international challenges, with a focus on identifying and addressing health inequities.

The increasing interconnectedness of the world requires professionals educated from a global perspective. The program leverages a transdisciplinary approach to prepare technically skilled and cross-culturally competent professionals to overcome challenges in a continually-shifting and complex landscape.

The Accelerated Track

While all full-time MPH in Global Health candidates are expected to complete their coursework in 2 years (ie, 6 semesters), we also offer an Accelerated Track for completion to exceptional applicants.

Accelerated Track Options:

This Accelerated Track has two program options:

(1) MPH completed in 4 semesters,
(2) MPH completed in 3 semesters.

An Ideal Student:

These options have been specifically designed for applicants who will: (a) benefit from a quicker completion of their MPH coursework (eg, for professional and scholarship reasons), (b) have a strong relevant professional background, and (c) have a strong academic track-record to succeed an intensive route.

A Typical Schedule:

Below are typical 4-semesters and 3-semesters schedules (subject to future modifications).

 *Accelerated students in the 3-semester option will need to enroll in 18 semester credit hours during the Spring semester requiring Department Chair approval, which will be based on satisfactory performance during the student’s previous semester.
