Persons holding baccalaureate degrees in chemistry, engineering, materials science, physics, or related disciplines are eligible for admission. The program is designed to provide the knowledge, analytical skills, and research experience necessary to prepared students for technical jobs and doctoral degree programs in the interdisciplinary field of Materials Science.
Master of Public Health
Stephen Nkansah-Amankra, Ph.D., MPH
MPH Program Director
snamankra@nsu.edu
The Master of Public Health Program educates students to apply evidence-based public health approaches that prevent injury and disease to support the delivery of health services. The program provides students with an understanding of public health and health equity in relation to analysis and interventions aimed at protecting and improving the health of all individuals and communities. Students learn how to formulate research questions based on social and behavioral models, design studies, and collect data. Students learn to analyze and interpret health data and information (e.g., reports, academic research, and the design of health promotion activities) for public health officers and managers to improve programs, policies, and services.
