A Milestone for Public Health
|
Puget Sound’s Master of Public Health program has earned accreditation from the Council on Education for Public Health, a distinction that applies retroactively to the program’s first cohort.
The accreditation, granted this year, dates to Spring 2023, when the program filed its initial application. That means all students who have graduated since the program’s inception now hold degrees from a CEPH-accredited institution.
For graduates, the designation carries tangible career benefits. Many federal public health agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health, require job applicants to hold degrees from accredited programs. Accreditation is also often required to sit for the Certified in Public Health exam, a professional credential that can enhance employment opportunities.
