Be a public health leader for the 21st century

Public health is critical to our nation’s welfare, yet today’s public health systems face mounting challenges, from workforce shortages and outdated infrastructure to widening health disparities shaped by where people live. The field hasn’t kept pace with the rapid advancements in data science, engineering and digital technology that are transforming other sectors of health and society.

Arizona State University’s School of Technology for Public Health was created to modernize public health infrastructure and prepare leaders who can design, deploy and scale technology-enabled solutions that improve population health. By merging public health and technological innovation, the school equips graduates to strengthen systems, expand access and reduce disparities at scale.

As a graduate student in the School of Technology for Public Health, you’re not only preparing to advance your career — you’re learning to build faster, smarter and more resilient public health systems. You’ll gain fluency in public health, systems engineering, data science and human-centered design and apply those skills in real-world settings alongside agencies, industry partners and communities. Whether your goal is to lead within government, innovate in industry, conduct use-inspired research or co-design solutions with communities, you’ll be prepared to turn insight into action.

Step 1: Talk to us.

The most important step in your public health career could be a phone conversation with one of our admission advisors. They will help you assess your career goals, answer your questions about the school and tell you what to expect from our master’s degree programs and how they will prepare you to design, implement and scale technology-forward solutions that strengthen public health systems and communities.

Our advisors can also help you explore which degree path — the MS in public health technology or the MPH with a public health technology concentration — best aligns with your background, goals and professional aspirations.

ASU is at the forefront of accelerating health care through technology, research and informatics. The school brings that same level of innovation to public health. Working with national and global leaders and informed by local and tribal public health departments, we weave together public health, engineering and computer sciences. As a student in the School of Technology for Public Health, you’ll learn to be “bilingual” in both areas and be able to use technology to shape the future of public health in this decade and beyond.
