School Summary
The Morgan State University School of Community Health and Policy (SCHP) offers a range of unique academic and practical opportunities. The School is committed to providing students from diverse backgrounds with a rigorous education in the health sciences and nursing, incorporating community based learning as an integral component of the educational experience. The School of Community Health and Policy equips its graduates to assume public health professional positions that address health disparities confronting populations in urban areas in Maryland and across the nation. The School has two graduate programs: the Public Health Program and the Nursing Program.
Public Health Program
The Public Health Program (PHP) has three departments: Behavioral Health Sciences, Health Policy and Management, and Public Health Analysis. The Program provides a rigorous public health education and offers a Doctorate of Public Health and Master’s of Public Health degrees with a concentration in Behavioral Health at the masters and doctoral level. A concentration in Health Policy and Management and a concentration in Epidemiology at the master’s level are slated to begin in the near future.
