Learn more about the Community-Oriented Public Health Practice (COPHP) MPH program
Healthier populations start in your community
The COPHP MPH program teaches the core public health competencies through a problem-based learning approach that creates engaged, self-directed learners. Students work in small teams to analyze case studies about public health issues and develop their own solutions with guidance from a faculty instructor. This approach offers a powerful way to prepare students for the types of challenges faced in public health today.
Practicum & Capstone Projects
PBL is a unique way to learn graduate-level content and creates high-accountability structures for each cohort. We strongly encourage prospective students to learn more about this pedagogy and reach out to program representatives to learn if problem-based learning is the best fit for their learning style.
Meaningful, real-world change
The COPHP MPH program produces meaningful, real-world change. Our students have worked on projects that influenced policy development for Seattle and Washington state. Policy project topics include gun violence, sick leave, and pedestrian safety. These projects act as apprenticeships and immersive training opportunities to provide students with real-world work experience, not simply classroom learning.
