Adelphi University's Online MPH Named Among Top Online MPH Degree Programs by The Princeton Review
Garden City, NY (02/26/2026) — The Princeton Review has recognized Adelphi University's online Master of Public Health (MPH) program. This year, once again, the media outlet has included Adelphi on its list of the Best Online MPH Degree Programs for 2026, highlighting its excellence in preparing public health leaders through rigorous, accessible online education.
Offered through Adelphi's highly ranked College of Nursing and Public Health, the online MPH curriculum is fully accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health and designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills to address pressing public health challenges locally and globally. The program emphasizes health equity, community-focused solutions and real-world application through fieldwork and a capstone project, all delivered through flexible online study.
"We are honored to be included among the best online MPH programs by The Princeton Review," said Deborah Hunt, PhD '12, the Betty L. Forest Dean of the College of Nursing and Public Health. "This recognition reflects our faculty's commitment to excellence, our emphasis on health equity and practical experience, and our belief that accessible, high-quality public health education is essential for preparing professionals who will lead change in communities around the world."
The MPH program, which is offered both online and at Adelphi's Garden City, New York, campus, prepares graduates for careers in epidemiology, health policy, program management, community health and other high-impact roles in public health practice and leadership. With personalized instruction, robust career services and a strong emphasis on serving underserved populations, the program offers the flexibility and support students need to succeed in today's dynamic healthcare landscape.
According to The Princeton Review, "online MPH programs have become as rigorous as on-campus programs and offer several advantages. These include flexibility, affordability, access to advanced technologies, a diverse student body, and global opportunities. Students can learn at their own pace, save money, interact with a range of professionals, and gain exposure to diverse global perspectives on public health issues. The master of public health degree may be a rewarding choice for those seeking better job prospects and/or higher salaries in public and private sectors, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and international health bodies."
A 12-credit online graduate certificate in Public Health is also in development.
