ATSU Online
School of Health Management
Established in 1892 by the founder of osteopathy, A. T. Still,
M.D., D.O., ATSU began as the nation's first college of
osteopathic medicine and has evolved into a leading university of
health sciences. Today we offer more than 20 master's degrees
across allied health disciplines; doctorates in health education,
physical therapy, and audiology; the doctor of dental medicine
(D.M.D.); and the doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.).
ATSU educates students to become whole person healthcare
professionals who continuously develop and demonstrate compassion
and competency. We believe this commitment to our students, and
by extension to the patients they will treat in the future, makes
us the most distinctive health sciences university in the
country.

& Oral Health (ASDOH), Arizona School of Health Sciences
(ASHS), Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (KCOM), School

Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) - Dental Emphasis
Back to top
The Dental Public Health concentration is for students working in
the dental field who want to learn more about the public health
side of dentistry. This includes dentists, dental hygienists,
dental assistants, or anyone working in the dental industry that
is interested in a career in dental public health services and
administration.
Professionals trained in dental public health are well equipped
to work in community health centers, institutes of higher
education, non-profit organizations, and local, state, and
national government.
While many of the basic principles of public health cut across
disciplines, other aspects can be tailored to dentistry. Having
specific courses geared toward dentistry enables a better
understanding of the uniqueness of dental public health.
The M.P.H. - dental emphasis is a 60-credit-hour, 15-course
program. All class work is completed 100 percent online, and
students are never required to come to campus to complete the
degree.
