The Oregon Master of Public Health (OMPH) Program is built on the collective experience and expertise of three partner institutions: Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), Oregon State University (OSU), and Portland State University (PSU). A unique collaborative program that began in 1994, the Oregon MPH Program serves the urban, rural and beach communities of Oregon and SW Washington and beyond. Students enrolled in the OMPH Program have the opportunity to take courses at any of the three campuses, and to interact with nationally and internationally known faculty from three dynamic universities.
Located in Portland, Oregon Health & Science University is a world-class health science center training a wide range of health professionals. The OHSU School of Medicine hosts the OMPH Program Epidemiology & Biostatistics specialty track, offering both an MPH and MD/MPH. The OHSU School of Nursing provides a fully online MPH degree offering through the Primary Health Care and Health Disparities specialty track.
Oregon State University is a beautiful 400-acre campus located in Corvallis, Oregon. OSU is a land, sea, sun and space grant university. OSU holds the Carnegie Foundation's prestigious designation reserved for universities with "very high research activity." At OSU the MPH degree is offered through the Department of Public Health and offers MPH specialties in International Health, Health Management & Policy, Health Promotion, Epidemiology, Biostatistics, or Environment Safety & Health.
Portland State University, Oregon's largest university, is located in Portland, Oregon and is the state's urban comprehensive university with a 49-acre downtown campus. PSU's motto, "Let Knowledge Serve the City," reflects the institution's commitment to actively engage with communities and inspires the teaching and research of an accomplished faculty whose work and students span the globe. Students at PSU pursue an MPH in College of Urban and Public Affairs in either the Health Promotion specialty in the School of Community Health or Health Management & Policy specialty in Public Administration, a Division of the Mark O. Hatfield School of Government.
