Be inspired by brilliant faculty and exceptional peers to improve health and health care. Healthcare is a vibrant, fast-paced field that’s continually evolving. As an HPM MPH graduate student at Berkeley Public Health, you’ll gain the knowledge, skills, and partners you need to become a high-impact contributor at a health care employer of your choice. HPM at Berkeley offers experiences in and out of the classroom that challenge convention and help you grow as a healthcare leader. The two-year MPH HPM program curriculum is based on our faculty’s philosophy that a strong working knowledge of both management and policy are necessary to be an effective health care leader. We also highly emphasize professional development via the full-time summer internship and other vehicles to hone key leadership and emotional intelligence skills and engage with the community. Our two-year program offers frequent opportunities to engage in applied learning activities to gain core skills such as financial analysis, policy decision-making, and environmental scan, as well as to engage in both leadership and team-based approaches to problem-solving and innovation. Electives can be from HPM, other areas of BPH or elsewhere on the Berkeley campus (Haas, LAW, GSPP, etc.). Two-Year MPH students are required to complete a minimum of 48 units of coursework over four academic semesters and one summer. The minimum unit enrollment per academic semester is 12 units.
