Master Of Public Health (Adult & Graduate Programs)
Definition: The Indiana Wesleyan University Master of Public Health (MPH) is a 43 credit hour graduate program designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of each of the five (5) core areas of public health including Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Environmental Health, Health Services Administration, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. Delivered from a distinctly faith-based foundation, the IWU MPH program is designed to prepare students for a career to influence public health on a local, state, national and global level. Students will value, understand, and apply inter-related social-behavior theories and contextual factors to address the complex health problems of the 21st-century households, communities, and organizations.
Upon satisfactory completion of the Master of Public Health program, students should be able to:

programs and policies.
