Program Description

The Master of Public Health program at Youngstown State University is part of Consor­tium of Eastern Ohio Master of Public Health (CEOMPH). CEOMPH is a multidisciplinary, interdepartmental, and interinstitutional program that provides opportunities for graduate stud­ies in public health. It is housed in the Bitonte College of Health and Human Services. Although the M.P.H. degree is awarded by Youngstown State University, the M.P.H. program is consor­tium-based. It draws its faculty from several departments at The University of Akron, Cleveland State University, the Northeastern Ohio Medical University (NEOMED), and Youngstown State University.

The mission of the Consortium of Eastern Ohio Master of Public Health program is to provide accredited public health education designed for the working professional. It does this through a collaborative learning community, drawing on the collective resources of its four member institutions and partnering community agencies. The program strives to produce respected and competent professionals able to improve public health practice, especially in eastern Ohio.

Students take core courses that are delivered through webinar and online teaching each semester.

Unique program features:

  • Distance learning (webinar and online)
  • Elective courses at any partner university

 

Nutrition Specialization

Stakeholder interviews have noted the emergence of non-traditional practice settings and an expanding scope of practice expectation required of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs).  Primary areas of focus will be disease prevention and integrative healthcare.  With these focus areas, there will be a need for professionals who have training and preparation in leadership, inter-professional practice and a greater understanding of the community and cultural ecosystems of patients and clients. https://www.eatrightpro.org/ 

Future Model programs offered at the graduate level will provide the necessary coursework and supervised experiential learning to meet the competency based education requirements set forth by the accrediting body.  Individuals completing the requirements are eligible to take the CDR RDN credentialing examination.
