Two Online Programs: M.S. and D.Sc.
1. Master of Science in Public Health: One year of course work plus dissertation, comprising a total of 36 tri-mester credits plus dissertation. The creation and publication of a dissertation is expected to be completed within 6 months, which means that the total program continues for 1.5 years at an annual cost of $3750 USD per year with payment plan ($3400 USD per year advanced lump sum payment). The second year is billed at $3200 USD provided the student completes and publishes the dissertation (with our help) within 6 months; otherwise billed at the full annual amount of $3750 USD without proration for students who take longer than the 6 months for the dissertation requirement.
2. Doctor of Science in Public Health: Our usual 3 year doctoral program, this program encompasses 60 trimester credits of course work plus 12 trimester credits dissertation (72 trimester credits total). There is a little over 2 years of course work plus approximately 1 year estimated for completion and publication of the doctoral dissertation.
