Bridge students are enrolled in one of our partner institutions. They take up to four Master of Public Health (MPH) courses while still in undergraduate during their junior or senior year and the courses are applied to their undergraduate degree. After earning their bachelor’s degree, Bridge students continue to take courses in the MPH, either on a part-time or full-time basis. Jefferson's MPH program is accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH).
JCPH supports students on the Bridge Pathway by providing a flexible course schedule and a host of supplemental activities and experiential learning opportunities. Classes are offered throughout the day, in the evening, and online to accommodate students’ schedules. Supplemental activities include a lecture series, journal clubs and registration to a nationally recognized conference on population health. Students on the Bridge Pathway also complete a field experience where they gain real world public health experience. Additionally, students on the Bridge Pathway work closely with faculty to design and complete an independent Capstone that focuses on a topic of their choice.
