MS Public Health Technology at Arizona State University

Programme overview

Locally and globally, nothing is more important than protecting the public's health. With issues such as extreme heat, misinformation, infectious and noncommunicable diseases, and reproductive and mental health, public health affects everyone. However, public health systems --- which are responsible for protecting the health and well-being of the communities they serve --- are not structured in ways that empower them to swiftly and effectively respond to these layered and evolving threats.
