CEPH Accreditation

The Master of Public Health Program is pleased to announce that it has been reaccredited with the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) for a seven-year term extending to December 31, 2029. CEPH is an independent agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit programs and schools of public health. CEPH is the longest standing accrediting body of public health schools and programs in the world. Our MPH Program is the only Program in Ontario and the fourth in Canada to receive CEPH accreditation.

(Please note that CEPH accreditation is different from Ontario Universities Council of Quality Assurance, which the MPH Program obtained in March 2013.)
