Master of Public Health 
Data Science (Online)

Public health has always been a data-driven field. The way in which we collect, analyze, and interpret that data has changed dramatically, though. 21st-century data science has given us access to more information than ever before. Those who know how to use it can change lives; change communities; and even change the world. 

The Master of Public Health (MPH) in Public Health Data Science from the King Graduate School will show you how to do it. Thanks to our innovative online learning platform, you can do it all from wherever you are, and on a schedule that works for you. Our interdisciplinary curriculum applies cutting-edge STEM methods to modern public health issues, preparing you to develop creative solutions to environmental health hazards, community violence, chronic diseases, and more.
