The Public Health Leadership Program (PHLP) works to prepare public health practitioners for leadership positions. Through certificate and graduate degree programs, offered in both traditional and distance learning formats, we bring an interdisciplinary approach to the development of population-level knowledge and skills. Students participate and learn collaboratively, building upon varied professional experience as well as the always-evolving best practices of leadership and public health.  Community assessment, assurance, and policy development provide a framework for each student’s individualized course of study.
