Master of Public Health (MPH)



The Master of Public Health (MPH) concentrations of Public Health Nutrition and
Veterinary Public Health offered through the College of Agriculture and Applied
Sciences (CAAS) are very unique to the region. These programs offer a specific
combination of education and applied practice that are tailored to students
interested in nutrition and veterinary public health. CAAS MPH students have
primarily been practicing dietitians, veterinarians, and other public health
professionals who are pursuing continued education to advance their career
opportunities. The degrees have increased acceptance rates for students applying
to professional schools such as veterinary or medical school. CAAS MPH
concentrations are available completely online to accommodate students who have
other professional and personal responsibilities. Select courses can be taken
face-to-face for students who live in the area and prefer the traditional
classroom experience.


ACCREDITATION

The CAAS MPH Program is an applicant for accreditation by the Council on
Education for Public Health. The accreditation review will address the CAAS MPH
degrees only. Other degrees and areas of study offered by this institution will
not be included in the unit of accreditation review. Please see the CEPH website
to learn more about the applicant and accreditation process

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IS THIS PROGRAM 100% ONLINE?

Yes! The CAAS MPH program is offered 100% online which means you can take
courses from anywhere in the world. You are not required to be on campus or
attend classes virtually at any time. With that said, there are plenty of
opportunities to connect with faculty and students via Zoom.

ARE THERE ANY PRE-REQUISITE REQUIREMENTS?

For the MPH Nutrition Concentration, students from any related undergraduate
major are invited to apply. Students do need to have taken undergraduate courses
in statistics and nutrition. To apply to the MPH Veterinary Public Health
concentration an undergraduate degree with a background in biochemistry,
chemistry, biology, mathematics, statistics, and animal disease is preferred
though all students with an undergraduate degree and some science background are
encouraged to apply.

WHAT IS THE POLICY FOR TRANSFERRING GRADUATE CREDITS?

Students who have completed graduate courses (that have not been used towards a
completed degree) at other accredited universities may request that courses are
reviewed for transfer credit. The School of Graduate Studies allows a maximum of
12 credits to be transferred. Credits can be transferred as long as the MPH
degree will be completed within 8 years of starting the transferred coursework,
although exceptions can be made on an individual basis.

WHO SHOULD WRITE THE LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION?

Letters of recommendation should be from former professors, employers, or other
professional references. Personal references are not recommended. Letters of
recommendation should emphasize your potential as a graduate student.

IS THE GRE REQUIRED?

Starting Summer 2021, the GRE will no longer be required to apply for either of
the the CAAS MPH concentrations.

HOW CAN I CHECK ON MY APPLICATION STATUS?

If you have general application questions, please contact the graduate school
directly at graduateschool@usu.edu. You can also contact Dr. Mateja Savoie
Roskos at mateja.savoie@usu.edu if you are applying to the MPH Nutrition
concentration and Dr. Jane Kelly at Jane.kelly@usu.edu if you are applying to
the MPH Veterinary Public Health concentration.

HOW MUCH DOES TUITION COST?

The MPH program requires a total of 42 credit hours. Tuition and fees are based
on credit hour and differ for in state and out of state students. For students
located in Utah, tuition for online courses is the same as face-to-face courses.
For students outside Utah, there is a special tuition rate for online courses
that does not take residency into account. Total tuition costs in 2021 are
between $16,000-$19,000, however, tuition costs can change from year to year.
Use the USU Tuition and Fees Estimator for more information.

ARE THERE SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE?

The university, college, and the NDFS and ADVS departments have scholarships and
assistantships that often become available for graduate students. MPH faculty
notify students when these opportunities become available within the department
and college. We also recommend looking for scholarships on the USU website.
Additional scholarship opportunities are often available through professional
organizations. As a result, we highly recommend students are involved in public
health organizations.

WHERE SHOULD I GO FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRAM?

If you are interested in the MPH Nutrition concentration, please contact Dr.
Mateja Savoie Roskos at mateja.savoie@usu.edu or 435-797-5777. If you are
interested in the MPH Veterinary Public Health concentration please contact Dr.
Jane Kelly at Jane.kelly@usu.edu or 801-798-5435.

ARE THE CAAS MPH PROGRAMS PART OF THE WESTERN INTERSTATE COMMISSION FOR HIGHER
EDUCATION (WICHE) WESTERN REGIONAL GRADUATE PROGRAMS (WRGP)?

Yes! Both CAAS MPH concentrations are part of the WICHE WRGP. See more
information about potential tuition savings for non-Utah residents.
