Other Costs
Note that students who enter the program without an MPH/MSPH from an accredited school of public health must take an additional 3-credit hour core public health course.
In addition to tuition, students will need computers, web cameras and headsets that conform to program specifications. Students will also be responsible for travel expenses related to their three annual visits to campus (including most food, lodging, and transportation). An overseas trip or a trip to a site outside North Carolina may replace one of the required on-campus visits over the two years of required coursework.
