STUDYING PUBLIC HEALTH IN SOUTH KOREA


If you are considering studying for a Masters in Public Health (MPH) abroad read on to find out the compelling reasons to choose to study for this prestigious qualification at the University of Utah in South Korea (UAC).


The UAC MPH program has been cotinuously accredited by the Council for Education in Public Health (CEPH) since 1978. The MPH degree training is grounded in applied learning and includes the basic fields of epidemiology, biostatistics, behavioral science, environmental health, along with learning how to design and evaluate effective public health programs, propose and implement public health policy within organizations and governments, and lead the integration of public health into society.


Students come to the MPH program with varied educational backgrounds and eventual career goals. UAC have had successful MPH students with bachelor’s degrees in dance, engineering, literature, languages, nursing, and business as well as many students who completed the pre-requisites for medical, dental, or pharmacy school. Over 1,000 graduates of the program are employed in fields as diverse as research, healthcare, academia, non-profit organizations, government, and entrepreneurial activities.


Students who enroll at the UAC Campus will learn in English from University of Utah School of Medicine professors in Songdo, South Korea for the first year of the two-year MPH program. UAC plan that the second year classes will be taught on the campus of The University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Graduate classes are limited to no more than about 50 students and are taught by professors. Students work closely with professors in the classroom and have the opportunity to join research teams and continue the learning outside of the classroom.


The MPH program includes a required field placement (practicum) in which students apply what they have learned in a workplace setting. UAC Campus students will have the opportunity to complete this practicum requirement in the USA or in their home country. Program faculty and staff can help students identify suitable placements that will match their interests while providing supervised training. Many students find that their practicum assignment becomes a job after graduation.


On-campus housing is available at both campuses. Full and partial tuition scholarships are available to outstanding UAC students through the Utah Global Leaders Scholarship Program. All scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis as determined by each student’s academic merit and announced shortly after the admission’s decision.


Qualified students will have completed a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university with an overall “B” average or better and at least one class in college algebra or its equivalent with a grade of “B” or better. A class in statistics is recommended but not required. Complete application instructions are available on the UAC website, http://asiacampus.utah.edu/ graduate-admissions/. Required documents are: transcripts from all previous colleges and universities, GRE score, TOEFL score of at least 80iBT received within 2 years, three letters of recommendation, and a personal statement of purpose.
