Navigate challenges in a relational and authentic community.
At Gordon College, we know that you want to be an advocate for the vulnerable and make a difference in the face of disparity and inequity. But in a world with increasing complexity, we are often overwhelmed and frustrated by polarization and divisiveness.
At Gordon, we incorporate public health education and Christian-based worldviews to enhance the diversity of perspectives in the field and to elevate the effectiveness of our graduates as public health leaders. You’ll learn directly from public health experts within a relational and authentic community who create a safe space to wrestle with the challenges of public health.
Our MPH degree can be completed in 18 months and fits around your busy schedule. It combines online courses, given in 8-week blocks, with on-campus summer experiences that include opportunities for intensive learning, networking, and community building. We offer two tracks for our MPH degree:

- Health Policy & Management Concentration: Students develop, analyze and advocate for health policies and systems that strengthen communities in the United States and around the world.
Our certificate programs equip you with specific skill sets necessary to enhance your contributions to the field for a fraction of the time and cost. These programs include three 3-credit courses taken over 6 months and are offered in the following areas:
