Master of Public Health (MPH)
The Public Health Sciences department in the Biological Sciences Division is excited to announce the launch of the new Master of Public Health (MPH) program in Autumn 2021, which also offers a joint MD-MPH degree with UChicago’s Pritzker School of Medicine. The MPH program is broad in its scope, with students gaining proficiency across several public health disciplines, and includes concentrations in epidemiology and global health, health policy, and data science. In addition to coursework, students will complete a practicum experience and capstone project, gaining hands-on skills and foundational knowledge that prepares them for careers as public health professionals and researchers.
Master of Science in Molecular Engineering
The one-year Master of Science in Molecular Engineering (MSME) program at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering is designed to enhance a student’s career path as a traditional engineer and to prepare them for leadership positions across industries. By immersing themselves in our unique curriculum, they learn to address complex technical problems within a professional context. In keeping with the interdisciplinary tradition of UChicago studies, MSME students are able to take elective opportunities at the Booth School of Business, the Division of the Humanities, and other departments across campus.
