Master's Degree in Public Health in 
Biostatistics and Epidemiology (Online)

Public health professionals work tirelessly on behalf of the communities they serve. The research they do shapes the way we tackle environmental health issues, healthcare inequity, infectious diseases, and more. 

With a Master of Public Health (MPH) in Biostatistics and Epidemiology, you can not only build on that work, but develop new work of your own. Our program at the King Graduate School will train you to conduct comprehensive biostatistical and epidemiologic research, then apply your findings to solve real-world public health challenges. And thanks to our innovative learning technologies, you can do it all online — where and when it’s convenient for you.

Find Out About Our Hybrid MPH Biostatistics and Epidemiology

The COVID-19 pandemic created a spike in the demand for public health professionals. While the pandemic itself may have flattened out, the demand for biostatisticians and epidemiologists has not. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that in the next several years, both those careers will grow at rates far faster than the average for all occupations. 

When you earn your MPH degree online, you do more than prepare yourself for a career that’s on the rise. You prepare to lift up others, too, by creating evidence-based interventions for the many public health issues that affect us all.
