Study in Ghana through the University of Utah Extended Master of Public Health
Our highly ranked University of Utah Master of Public Health (MPH) program has extended its world-class education around the globe to the Ensign College of Public Health in Kpong, Ghana as well as the University of Utah Asia campus in Songdo, South Korea. Students at the Extended MPH Program in Ghana and the Asia Campus have the option to enroll in an accelerated program of study to complete this degree in one year, rather than the traditional two-year option (although still available if desired). Students have the option to complete the MPH degree at the Ensign College of Public Health campus or flex between The University of Utah Asia (Songdo, South Korea), US (Salt Lake City, Utah), and West Africa (Kpong, Ghana) locations.
All courses are taught in English by University of Utah faculty, allowing students to have the same quality of education while earning their Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) accredited MPH degree from the University of Utah. The CEPH accreditation provides immediate recognition from the academic public health community around the world.
The Division of Public Health MPH is approved for the Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP) resident tuition rate, enabling students from WICHE states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming) to enroll in the University of Utah MPH graduate program and pay the resident tuition rate, instead of the nonresident rate that an out-of-state student would normally pay. Please visit http://wiche.edu/wrgp for more information. Scholarships are also available for students. Please contact our advisors for more information.
