Online PhD in Public Health Programs

If you're looking for a degree that can provide you with the advanced training you need for top jobs in public healthcare administration, consider an online PhD in public health. Perfect for individuals with working experience in public health, an online program enables you to learn virtually any time and any place, while giving you access to qualified instructors and other motivated students. Depending on your program, you might choose to concentrate in areas such as epidemiology or community health education.

Courses you might find in your online PhD program include:

Program and policy evaluation
Analytic methods for public health practice
Health economics and financial management
Law and ethics for public health leaders

Coursework might include analyzing policy and case studies, developing legislative proposals or new practice interventions, designing and implementing public health programs, and a specialized dissertation on a major public health problem.

Individuals with an online PhD in public health find employment in areas such as healthcare administration and social work. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that employment in both fields is expected to increase faster than average. Salaries for health care administrators can vary, but the Medical Group Management Association reported that in 2004 administrators of practices with 26 or more physicians earned a median salary of $132,955.
