Public Health - Accelerate into Master's Brock University

Overview

With the Brock University Public Health - Accelerate into Master's students acquire a rich, multi-disciplinary understanding of the theory and practice of public health. They gain the advanced skills needed for competitive entry into public health careers or doctoral level studies. AIM students enter the four-year Bachelor of Public Health (BPH) (delivered face-to-face) and are also eligible to enter directly into the one-year Master of Public Health (MPH) (delivered completely online) program. They can choose to pursue both degrees or exit the program after their BPH degree if their career or academic aspirations change.

The BPH program offers exceptional opportunities for research training and experiential learning. A co-op option is also available. With courses in mental health, gerontology, global health, epidemiology and biostatistics, health promotion and administration, and human sexuality, students gain knowledge and skills to improve the health of their community, their country and their world. The MPH program allows students to pursue their passion or explore new areas of inquiry, such as infection control, emergency preparedness, decolonization and Indigenous health, health equity, social marketing and communications, and policy making.
