About the Program
MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
Dear Prospective Student,
On behalf of the faculty and staff in the College of Health Sciences, I would like to welcome you to Tennessee State University (TSU). Thank you for considering the Master of Public Health (MPH) at TSU, one of our newest additions to the list of graduate programs. We are extremely excited about the program and the interest it has generated.
The MPH program provides students with the required training for entry-level positions in the broad field of public health, so they can make positive contributions in the field of public health. The faculty members hold terminal degrees in their respective specialty areas within public health; have excellent teaching skills, and are committed to excellence in student learning as demonstrated through the curriculum and student advisement.
The first class of students was admitted in August of 2009. The Master in Public Health is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges (SACS). If the faculty, staff, or I can assist you by answering questions about the program, please contact us at (615) 963-7367. We look forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Dr. Kathleen McEnerney
