Potential job opportunities include: Analysis — An MPH degree can lead you to analytical work as a researcher or epidemiologist, or as a forensic investigator tracking the origins of an outbreak or other public health threat, or evaluation of current data and trends.

Education — In addition to instructing on a collegiate level, your job could involve educating the public, others in the health industry, or working within a corporation as an on-staff internal resource. Clinical — Your MPH will be in high demand at labs, hospitals, clinics and other health facilities. Administrative — There will always be a need for those educated in public health to ensure policies and procedures are delineated, clearly and accurately.

Community — One the most vital arenas you can work in with a degree in public health is community involvement such as activism, preparedness, and environmental health.

Food safety — Dozens of concerns need attention in the area of food safety — on a local level, nationally, within restaurants and throughout the food supply chain. Serving specific demographics — An MPH program prepares you to help large portions of the community, including specific at-risk groups like the homeless, the elderly, mothers and children, and more.

These public health professionals seek to reduce the risk and occurrence of negative health outcomes through research, community education and health policy.
