A global pandemic, an aging population, advancing climate change and growing social inequities are fueling unprecedented demand for public health workers. By some estimates, an 80% workforce increase in state and local governmental public health departments is needed.

UC Davis CPE’s online Public Health Certificate Program and courses are designed to prepare you for a dynamic career in public health. Whether you’re interested in taking on higher-level roles in public health or looking to enter a master’s of public health program, our online public health courses provides the foundational knowledge and practical skills to help you achieve your goals.

Courses address core public health disciplines, including biostatistics, epidemiology, social and behavioral sciences, and health systems management. A bachelor’s degree, introductory level statistical knowledge and familiarity with SAS programing is highly recommended to be successful in these courses.
