Learning Styles and Teaching Venues

Our program is especially suited to working professionals with busy schedules and varying learning style needs. To this end, our curriculum includes a variety of venues in addition to the classroom setting.  Students enrolled in the Worcester Campus MPH Program will have the opportunity to take all of their classes in the classroom setting.  We also offer online classes/web-based instruction through the UMass Public Health Practice Program.

Students who are interested in taking the majority of their classes in the classroom should enroll in the Worcester Campus Program.

Students interested in taking the majority of courses on-line should enroll in the Public Health Practice online program offered through the Amherst campus.  http://www.umass.edu/sphhs. 

Upon matriculation, all students in the Worcester MPH Program are matched with an advisor who works closely with him or her to develop a course schedule that is tailored to meet individual career needs. Students in the Worcester Program who are interested in enrolling in selected on-line courses in the Public Health Practice Program may take up to 3 classes online and then request approval from their faculty advisor if they wish to take more than 3 online classes.
