About the DrPH Program, HPA Division, SPH, and UIC:

The Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) in Leadership program explicitly focuses on strengthening practitioner‑student knowledge, skills, and ability to understand and address the persistent root causes of inequity. We emphasize whole‑person, transformational, and action‑learning centered pedagogical approaches through a cohort‑based collective learning approach. The curriculum integrates and assures achievement of learning aligned with the Council on Education in Public Health (CEPH) and UIC DrPH program competencies grounded in transformational leadership. Our courses are delivered in a synchronous distance‑based model that is supported by an ever‑growing global community of student‑practitioners, faculty, alumni, staff, and strategic partners.

The Division of Health Policy and Administration (HPA) at the UIC SPH is an interprofessional, transdisciplinary community addressing the underlying structural and social drivers of population health and disparities. Through mutually reinforcing teaching, research, and practice, we analyze, identify, and implement evidence‑based solutions across policy, systems, and organizations in Chicago, nationally, and globally. Anchored in community and cross‑sector partnerships, our work responds to lived experiences and real‑world environments to achieve lasting impact. Our expertise—centered on health disparities and equity—spans policy, law, economics, health services, healthcare administration, and leadership.
