About UM-MPH

The mission of The University of Montana Master of Public Health Program is to prepare professionals to improve the health of the people of Montana and other rural areas around the world by providing interdisciplinary education that fosters critical thinking, research-based practice, and community collaboration. We aim to graduate practitioners who are competent to address the unique challenges resulting from the intersection of rural and global public health issues through approaches that examine the interaction of biological, environmental, historical, political, sociocultural, economic and behavioral factors and their relationship to public health policy, management and intervention.
