Academic Programs

The MS degree is an academic degree that provides specialized knowledge in a particular subject matter. While the primary goal of the MS degree curriculum is achievement of specialized knowledge, the interdisciplinary nature of the Mailman School’s educational experience also provides students in our programs with a broad public health perspective that facilitates successful careers in public health and related areas.
