All students must meet the Requirements for the micro-Certificate of Graduate Study.

Overview

Public health is a dynamic and challenging, multidisciplinary field blending public policy, research, and population health sciences. The focus of public health is on promoting healthy practices and preventing disease among entire populations, rather than on treating individual illness.

This University of Vermont’s online micro-Certificate of Graduate Study in Public Health is a 6-credit certificate (2 courses) that provides a graduate-level introduction to this field, encouraging students to explore current public health and health policy issues while gaining a foundation in epidemiology.
