MPH Concentration vs. Specialty

As you look over our various programs you  may notice that there are concentrations and specialties. What is the difference? The quick answer is to think of your concentration like a major and the specialty like a minor. Your studies in your concentration will allow you to develop expertise in this area, and the specialty will provide focus on a secondary field within your concentration.

You'll notice that there are a couple areas listed in both the concentration and the specialty sections. This is to allow you the option to choose your expertise level given your interest in these areas. Should you have an interest in Public Health Nutrition but not want to focus exclusively on this area, you can add it as a specialty.
