Nation’s oldest private military college emphasizes interdisciplinary approach to public health
Vermont Business Magazine Norwich University is excited to introduce its new online Master of Public Health (MPH) degree program, and to welcome its first class this fall. With its 200-year military heritage, Norwich has developed its MPH program to prepare students to take on leadership roles in addressing today’s most pressing public health challenges.
Public health, the science of improving the health of communities and individuals through preventive measures, intersects with the growing areas of artificial intelligence, nursing, national security, climate and environmental issues, and mental health. Norwich’s science-based MPH program emphasizes the leadership and human impact required to effectively address these key areas.
“Public health is interdisciplinary, and our new program is shaped around that concept,” said Paige Spiess, academic director of public health at Norwich University. “Public health professionals are integral to our society’s well-being and our goal is to provide a transformational educational experience that prepares students for a range of healthcare careers, whether in the military or not.”
