Multiply your impact with a public health degree
Public health degrees are for anyone looking to make the world healthier through research and practice. Whether you’re a government servant, a dedicated non-profit member, or a doctor eager to focus on prevention and not just care, a public health degree prepares you to work on positive change at scale.
Graduates of public health degrees go on to work as leaders at hospitals; local, state, national, and international non-profits; biotech companies; pharmaceutical and insurance companies; and governments. From the United Nations and the National Health System and CDC to the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic, public health professionals are on the front lines of prevention and crisis management alike.
You don’t need to quit your current job and move to earn a degree from a top ranked university. You can learn from the same professors and graduate with a highly valued and well-respected credential from the same universities. Imperial College London and the University of Michigan have partnered with Coursera to deliver their degrees fully online.
