The School of Public Health (SPH) at the University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) was founded in 1999 as a result of grassroots efforts of community leaders, North Texas public health officials and the Health Science Center. The UNTHSC School of Public Health has one of the most diverse student bodies in the nation and offers the following degrees: MPH, MHA, MS and PhD in Public Health Sciences.

UNTHSC SPH offers varied programs to meet the needs of many students. Students can obtain the MPH degree via a cohort program, an intensive campus-based curriculum and professional development sessions, along with high touch opportunities with faculty. Alternatively, an equivalent MPH can be obtained using an online delivery system, with the same professional development sessions and access to faculty. MPH concentrations include: Biostatistics and Data Science; Epidemiology; Maternal and Child Health; Public Health Leadership (concentration offered both campus and online delivery). While SPH faculty have a range of research interests, two unique areas of research focus are health disparities and health behavior intervention development, testing, and implementation.
