In July 2010, our School leaders received notice of reaccreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) for seven years, the maximum period of renewal.

 

The Council on Education for Public Health, established in 1974 by the American Public Health Association (APHA) and the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH), is an independent agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit schools of public health and public health programs. The Council aims to enhance health in human populations through organized community effort by assuring professional personnel who are able to identify, prevent and solve community health problems.

 

At the time of our reaccreditation, there were 44 fully accredited public health schools in the U.S.
