CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MPH Online (http://www.mphonline.org/), an independent online guide for prospective public health students, is pleased to share the Best Online Master's in Public Health Programs (http://www.mphonline.org/top-online-masters-in-public-health-programs).

From preventative health to disaster relief, pandemics to toxic water, the public health system is what keeps people safe, healthy, and happy. With an aging population, major developments in medicine, and a complex healthcare system, the field of public health is constantly growing in importance in the US, making it one of the most reliable job markets. Leadership positions-- managers with expertise--are particularly in short supply. For public health professionals hoping to excel further in this field, a graduate degree is the standard. For that reason, schools have been developing online degrees to meet the demand. These programs give working adults access to the education they need without having to leave their jobs. To help these students make the most sensible decisions, MPH Online has researched the very best online programs available.

According to the MPH Online ranking, the top three programs for 2017 are: 1) University of California in Berkeley, California; 2) Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland; and 3) University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. MPH Online congratulates the top three, as well as all the recognized programs.
