Accreditation Update
The national accrediting body for public health programs, the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), regularly conducts reviews of public health programs that seek accreditation. As a result of the CEPH accreditation conducted in 2006, our public health program was placed on probation for program staffing related to funding.
The CEPH site visit occurred on campus March 2-3, 2009, with a strong showing of support from students, faculty, alumni, and the community. The final accreditation decision will be made on October 21, 2009, and until then, the program remains accredited and we remain committed to a robust and fully-accredited MPH program.
