About the MHS Program
The Master of Health Science (MHS) program trains health professionals through educational programs, research, and community service opportunities so that they may make a substantive contribution to the health of individuals, communities, and the environment. The program prepares its students for leadership positions in public health, other public and private health promoting agencies, and health care institutions.
Emphasis Areas
Students in the MHS program will choose from one of three emphasis areas: Health Promotion, Health Policy and Health Services Leadership.
Research, Service, and Networking Opportunities

Students also support the coordination of health-oriented events where they can network with healthcare professionals from a wide variety of organizations.
