DrPH - Doctor of Public Health

The Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) degree at Berkeley School of Public Health is conferred in recognition of a candidate’s command of a comprehensive body of knowledge in the field of public health and related disciplines, and of the candidate’s proven ability to initiate, organize and pursue the investigation of significant problems or interventions in public health. The focus of this degree is the development of transdisciplinary knowledge about the determinants of health and the scientific and professional leadership skills to translate this knowledge into effective health interventions.

Those who earn this degree are expected to occupy leadership positions that have major influence on public health research, policies, programs, systems and institutions. Such leadership may be in diverse traditional and nontraditional settings at the international, national, state, or local levels and in the public, private and academic sectors.

Applicants must hold a master’s or doctoral degree in the health sciences or in another related field or non-US equivalent degree. Applicants must also have a minimum of two years or more of professional public health experience post-master’s degree showing progressive responsibility and evidence of leadership potential.

The DrPH program is a full-time campus-based program of study designed to be completed in three or four years for those applicants with an MPH from a CEPH-accredited institution and at least two years of postgraduate professional public health leadership experience. Any students with deficiencies in coursework equivalent in content to the MPH at UC Berkeley must take prerequisite courses either before starting the program or during the first year of the program.

Students will participate in an integrative doctoral training program that incorporates knowledge and skills from all divisions of the School of Public Health as well as the Schools of Education, Public Policy, Social Welfare and the Haas School of Business. The required course work consists of 4 full-time semesters (48 units) and a minimum of 12 units of dissertation research credits. This course work encompasses a thorough grounding in leadership, research methods and the application of these methods to the analysis of public health and policy issues. Students must fulfill all the course requirements from the Council on Education for Public Health CEPH specific competencies listed in the student handbook. Due to the diverse experience each student brings to the program, it is expected that students will also select courses and independent studies that advance their knowledge and ultimately their proficiency in all of the core and breadth knowledge areas listed below.

• Health Politics and Policy Analysis
• Public Health Interventions
• Global Health Sciences
• Research Design and Methods
• Public Health Ethics

Each student is also required to complete a research and/or professional residency in a public health setting that will provide the opportunity to advance knowledge and skills, identify data for dissertation research, conduct analyses and participate in decision making. Examples include: positions with local, state, or national legislatures, international agencies, city, county and state departments of public health or health services, policy think-tanks, multi-hospital systems and large health maintenance organizations.

As part of the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, DrPH students are eligible to take elective classes at other schools within the University including the Haas School of Business, Goldman School of Public Policy, City Planning, Journalism and others.

The DrPH program is a full-time professional degree program with a residency requirement. For this reason, the program is not recommended for persons who want to continue to work full-time. Overall, the program averages 3-4 years in length. There are no online or night courses available. The first two years of the program are primarily devoted to required coursework.

UC Berkeley DrPH graduates are employed in leading universities, policy research centers and “think tanks” across the country and internationally.

The DrPH is a professional degree program designed primarily for students interested in occupying leadership positions in the field. However, the program includes coursework in research methods, academic mentorship and completion of a dissertation involving the conducting of original research on a problem of public health importance. A number of graduates of the DrPH have gone on to accept university teaching positions or positions as full time researchers in academic or other scholarly settings. Although there is no specific “academic track” within the DrPH, students interested in teaching and research should choose as electives additional coursework in theory and research methods and undertake a dissertation consistent with such a career choice.

DrPH Admissions

Applicants must hold a master’s or doctoral degree in the health sciences or in another related field or non-US equivalent degree and have a minimum of two years or more of professional public health experience post-master’s degree, showing progressive responsibility and evidence of leadership potential.

Lt. Wan Nurul Naszeerah (she/her) is a fourth-year Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) student with Designated Emphases in New Media (Berkeley Center for New Media) and Development Engineering (Blum Center for Developing Economies) at the University of California-Berkeley. As a Digital Transformation of Development (DToD) Fellow, Wan is passionate in enhancing public health preparedness through infoveillance and infodemic management in Southeast Asia. Born and raised in Brunei, Wan is currently developing a human-centered digital intervention against vaccine misinformation for the Malay-speaking communities in Southeast Asia.

This professional endeavor stems from her personal experience as a native speaker of the Malay language, for which social media technologies have not been equitably developed to moderate the spread of vaccine misinformation and to sufficiently address the emerging issues of vaccine hesitancy in this region. Hence, she has been collaborating with data scientists as well as developing her computational skills, specifically in Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing, both of which are increasingly integrated into today’s public health preparedness and research. She believes that global health equity can only be achieved when there is equity in public health technologies.

Prior to becoming a Cal student, Wan had served as an infantry-trained military officer in Brunei, where she was involved in training, operations, research, and communications in the context of military medicine and health. In 2015, Wan had also graduated from the Yale School of Public Health, where she was trained in infectious diseases epidemiology and global health as Yale’s Global Health Research Fellow. She identifies as a first-generation graduate in her Malay family. She currently lives in the Bay Area with her supportive husband and sweet toddler.

Nadia Rojas (she/her) is a fourth-year DrPH candidate and a proud Bay Area native. She received her MPH from UC Davis and BA from UC Berkeley with a double major in Ethnic Studies and Integrative Biology. Before attending the DrPH program, Nadia worked at ChangeLab Solutions, a national nonprofit in Oakland, CA, where she developed tools and resources for community-based organizations, policymakers, and public officials across subject matters on upstream policy interventions. Nadia also worked at the School of Public Health at Berkeley, where she led the data collection and management of various projects evaluating Berkeley’s soda tax. Nadia is a DACA recipient and a strong advocate for the undocumented community. She co-founded Graduates Reaching a Dream Deferred Northern California (GRADD NorCal), where she was instrumental in organizing conferences throughout California for undocumented youth interested in attending graduate school. Nadia’s dissertation focuses on the association between sleep, physical activity, and cognitive function among Latinas in California’s Central Valley. Her additional interests include research that will reduce health disparities and promote equity among communities that have been marginalized, including the undocumented population. Nadia enjoys eating lots of vegetables and loves salsa and bachata dancing.

Ida Wilson is an Oakland native and DrPH candidate. She received a Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology from San José State University and a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology from UC Riverside. Ida has served as a Project Manager for the Center for Critical Public Health at the Institute for Scientific Analysis for several NIH- and Tobacco Related Disease Research Program-funded projects that investigated substance use among young adults in the Bay Area and in rural counties in Northern California. In addition to her duties as Project Manager, she also served as the Coordinator for the Center’s Internship program. Ida’s current research focuses on framing police violence as a public health issue by examining the experiences of Black and Latina women. Her additional research interests include health inequities, as well as the use of critical perspectives in examining public health issues by exploring the ways in which socio-structural systems contribute to health inequities for marginalized populations.

Emily Winer (she/her) is a fourth year DrPH candidate. Emily’s doctoral work is focused on the impact of using participatory, arts-based methods when engaging youth in research. Her other research interests include youth mental, social, and emotional health, the built environment and health, and the role of the arts in public health research and practice. Before coming to UC Berkeley, Emily worked at the International WELL Building Institute as one of the developers for WELL, a global certification for advancing health and wellbeing in buildings and communities. Emily’s work focused on the promotion of mental health through design and policy strategies at the building, organizational, and urban scale.

A PhD in Public Health can open up a number of professional avenues. Depending on which program specialization you choose, potential career options include:

• Medical and health services manager
• Health specialties educator, postsecondary

Career options may require additional experience, training, or other factors beyond the successful completion of this degree program.

The amount of time it takes to complete your doctorate will depend on your previous educational experience and how long you work on your dissertation. Walden’s online PhD in Public Health degree program offers a Track I for those entering with a master’s degree in public health and a Track II for those entering with a bachelor’s degree or with a graduate degree that is not in public health.

The minimum amount of time required to complete the coursework and dissertation is 2.75 years. Students have up to eight years to complete their doctoral degree requirements.

In the simplest terms, a PhD in Public Health is designed for scientists while a DrPH is designed for public health professionals. If you want to conduct research into issues affecting public health, the PhD in Public Health can help you focus on a research specialty, kick-start your research career, and put you on the path to making important contributions to our understanding of public health problems and solutions. If you want to work in the field, enacting programs and policies, the DrPH can help you acquire the top-level knowledge you’ll need to be an effective leader.

Online education makes it more possible than ever to earn your doctoral degree while continuing to work full time. When you enroll in Walden’s online PhD in Public Health degree program, you can learn alongside students from all over the world, gaining new perspectives on public health issues and best practices. Online learning also offers you the flexibility to complete your coursework on whatever days and times are convenient you. That makes it easier to balance your education with your work and personal commitments.

Those exploring a doctorate in public health online programs have many options. However, a few key factors should always be considered before deciding, including research opportunities, entry points, specializations, and faculty. For instance, Walden offers:

• The opportunity to engage in actionable research that can be applied to address critical public health problems facing communities and populations.
• An accelerated degree path that allows you to earn your online PhD in Public Health sooner if you already have a Master of Public Health (MPH) or MS in Public Health degree.
• Compelling program specializations that let you customize your program of doctoral study. Walden offers three specializations: Epidemiology, Community Health, and Environmental and Occupational Health.
• Expert faculty that includes distinguished scholars, researchers, and public health leaders selectively chosen for their breadth of knowledge and expertise.

Lastly, be sure you choose a university with a strong support team that is invested in helping you succeed as you work toward earning your online PhD in Public Health degree.

Top online PhD in Public Health programs often offer a choice of focus areas so that you can align your program with your interests and career goals. At Walden, students can choose between three specializations: Epidemiology, Community Health, and Environmental and Occupational Health.

The Epidemiology specialization centers on infectious and chronic diseases, how these diseases affect community health, and the strategies used to maintain the health of communities. If you’re more interested in improving the overall health of communities by examining available resources, living conditions and environment, and public health systems, the Community Health specialization may be right for you. If you want to gain a holistic view of how environmental and occupational factors affect human health on a local, global, and national scale, choose the Environmental and Occupational Health specialization. You’ll cover innovative solutions to the complex environmental health challenges impacting your community and beyond.

There are numerous potential careers paths in the public health field, and demand in many of these areas is growing at a steady rate. For example, the demand for epidemiologists, who investigate the determinants and distribution of disease, disability, or health outcomes, is expected to grow by 27% through 2032. Jobs for health specialties educators in postsecondary settings are expected to grow by 19% in that same time frame. These educators teach public health courses at colleges and universities and conduct academic research in the field. An online PhD in Public Health degree from Walden can qualify you to pursue these and other types of opportunities in the public health sector.
