| About MPH Program Accreditation |
In promoting the standards associated with public health and community health education accreditation, CAMP has a major commitment to encouraging and supporting higher education institutions to seek and maintain accreditation through the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH).
What is Accreditation?
Accreditation is the status of public recognition that an accrediting agency grants to an educational institution or program that meets the agency's standards of requirements. Accreditation attests to the quality of an educational program that prepares students for entry into a recognized profession.
What is CEPH?
The Council on Education for Public health (CEPH) is an independent agency recognized by the US Department of Education to accredit schools of public health and independent public health programs offered in settings other than schools of public health. These schools and programs prepare students for entry into careers in public health. The primary professional degree is the Master of Public Health (MPH), but other masters and doctoral degrees are offered as well.
Accreditation criteria for programs in public health can be found on the CEPH accreditation web page.
