CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS OVERVIEW

The Rollins School of Public Health offers a variety of certificate programs that can be earned in conjunction with an MPH or MSPH degree. Certificate programs aim to train RSPH students in specialized areas critical to public health practice. Certificate programs are developed around Rollins’ school mission and competencies. Certificates earned are reflected on the student’s official transcript.

Certificates Earned in Conjunction with MPH/MSPH Degrees

Rollins offers certificate programs that degree-seeking students may earn in conjunction with their MPH/MSPH degrees and two Emory University collaborative certificate programs. The basic curriculum includes coursework, a relevant practicum, and a culminating experience/Integrative Learning Experience that relates to the certificate topic. Through Rollins’ core and department requirements, the student gains the MPH/ MSPH core competency knowledge as part of the degree program. Each certificate curriculum identifies a set of competencies that will be met through the completion of the program. Certificate coursework (exclusive of the Practicum and Integrative Learning Experience) is beyond the student’s degree program’s core and required departmental courses (non-electives). However, courses taken for certificates may be counted as electives toward degree completion.
