Our program :  Through leadership, scholarship, and partnership, the Maternal and Child Health program at the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health trains students to support and promote the health and well-being of women, children, and families.  The program emphasizes
multi-level approaches to understanding the complex factors that affect population health and health disparities.  An essential ingredient is the partnerships we have with public and private agencies serving the MCH population and the communities in which MCH problems are most
persistent and pervasive.  The program is committed to scientific rigor, evidence-based public health practice, and the principles of participatory
and collaborative research and practice.

Degrees Offered:  Master of Public Health (MPH) in MCH and MCH Epidemiology, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in MCH and MCH Epidemiology.

Eligibility:  Applicants must be accepted into the MPH or PhD program in either the Division of Community Health Sciences or the Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the UIC-SPH and have an interest in the area of MCH or MCH Epidemiology.  Applications are due each year by
Feb.  1 for domestic students and Jan. 1 for international students.
