The Jefferson College of Population Health's (JCPH) Master of Public Health (MPH) program is accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). CEPH is an independent agency, recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit public health programs and schools. CEPH’s accreditation procedure requires a rigorous self-evaluation process involving faculty, students, and community stakeholders. Programs must meet standards in multiple areas, including curriculum, community engagement, research, and faculty and student recruitment and retention.

The MPH program was re-accredited for a seven-year term in 2025. For questions about CEPH accreditation, or to obtain a copy of the program’s self-study report or CEPH’s final report, please reach out to Zoë Van Orsdol.
