A unique Master of Public Health (MPH) program has been operating in Arkansas for the past two years. Developed by the faculty of the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine at Tulane University Medical Center, it offers health professionals the opportunity to earn the MPH degree over a two-year period while remaining in their positions and communities. Most classes are taught on the campus of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) in Little Rock. Several courses have been offered by the faculty of the Health Services Administration program and Department of Biology at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR).
