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. The CAMP originally provide representation for health education and the behavioral and social science programs, but has expanded its mission as CEPH-accredited programs seek an organization that has representation of the programs as its primary mission.
Today, the CAMP represents all interested MPH programs, with a strong focus on the preparation of public health practitioners.
