The Council of Accredited MPH Programs (CAMP) is an incorporated 501(c)3 and provides member programs with a legally constituted organization with a primary mission of advancing the goals of the accredited programs. CAMP originally provided representation for health education and the behavioral and social science programs, but has expanded its mission to include all CEPH-accredited programs that seek an organization whose primary focus is representing the programs.
Today, CAMP represents all interested MPH programs, with a strong focus on the preparation of public health practitioners.
