Public Health Certificate

The Certificate Program in Public Health is offered through the Public Health Institute of the Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine at St. George's University in Grenada. It serves people from the Caribbean and beyond who work in public health without formal training, those who plan to move on to the Master of Public Health, and professionals with degrees in fields such as medicine or nursing who want a grounding in public health fundamentals. Participants take six foundational public health courses alongside graduate students enrolled in the MPH, and they are assessed to the same standard as degree students. The certificate lets candidates with professional experience but no first degree enter graduate-level coursework, and credits can count toward the MPH. To be considered for the MPH, a student must show during the certificate that a 3.0 GPA is attainable. New cohorts begin twice a year, in May and August.
