Abstract
The need to include data science and cyber security into Master of Public Health (MPH) degree programs is summarized in this abstract. This method attempts to provide MPH students with a broad skill set that includes both data-driven decision-making and strong cyber security measures, acknowledging the dynamic nature of public health concerns. The curriculum aims to enable upcoming public health professionals to manage the challenges of protecting private health information while utilizing modern analytics to make well-informed decisions by merging these two crucial fields. This innovative approach highlights the program’s dedication to staying at the forefront of technology innovations in the pursuit of excellence in public health, while also meeting the rising need for professionals with interdisciplinary skills.
