Council on Education for Public HealthÌýMPH CEPH Accreditation

°Õ³ó±ðÌýÌýis an independent agency responsible for accrediting schools and programs in public health.ÌýCEPH accreditation sets a standard by which all accredited schools and programs of public health work to enhance health in human populations, through organized community effort. Accreditation by CEPH means that we have rigorously evaluated the quality and content of our instruction, research, and services programs and have successfully met CEPH’s published criteria—and that’s important to us.

DGPH completed a rigorous self-study process that involvedÌýa systematic and rigorous evaluation of the quality and content of our instruction, research, and service programs. This process was guided by the CEPH criteria and involved multiple stakeholders. A self-study committee comprised of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community partners was formed to ensure broad representation in the self-assessment process. Supporting this committee was a three-member internal steering committee (Dean Ruby Perry, Dr. Rueben Warren, Atty. Crystal James), a four-member subcommittee of the external advisory committee {Dr. Bailus Walker (deceased), Dr. Maleeka Glover, Dr. Kimberly Taylor, Dr. Lucenia Dunn, and Dr. Pamela Payne-Foster} that was responsible for synthesizing feedback into one final self-study report that we submitted to CEPH in November 2021. This process culminated in theÌýCEPH accreditation site visit in December 2021. Upon review of our self-study, CEPH notified President Morris that the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Êͼ¹ÒÅÆ Master of Public Health Program was reviewed by the CEPH Board of Councilors which acted at its June 1-3, 2022 meeting to approve full accreditation for a five-year accreditation period.
