Public Health Careers: A Favorable Market, a Fulfilling Mission
A career in public health not only fulfills your desire to serve, but can offer job stability and security as well. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of jobs in public health is expected to grow 22 percent between 2008-2018—outstripping the average of all other jobs.1
A Master of Public Health degree is key to advancement in this field. You can apply your MPH from Concordia to public health jobs in

MPH degree holders can work behind the scenes and before the public, speaking at legislative hearings, conducting and assessing clinical research, spearheading a social media campaign, or designing and implementing health programs. What they share is the goal of improving health and eliminating disparities. Since 1894, this sense of purpose has drawn students to Concordia University, Nebraska. Today, our online program helps us reach even more.
