The Program in Public Health (PPH) is regionally accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (CHE MSA) as a component of SUNY Stony Brook University.
The PPH offers two nationally accredited degree programs: the Master of Public Health (MPH) and the Master of Health Administration (MHA).
Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH)
The MPH has maintained accreditation from the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) since 2008. Between 2020 and 2021, the PPH conducted a thorough self-study process whereby we engaged students, staff, faculty, and community stakeholders in an assessment of our program. We had a successful site visit in April 2021. The CEPH Board of Councilors acted at its November 18-19, 2021 meeting to accredit the Program in Public Health at Stony Brook University for a seven-year term. The accreditation term extends until December 31, 2028, pending our continued documentation of compliance through annual reporting and any other reporting required by the Council.

Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME)
The MHA Program and MPH Concentration in Health Policy and Management* are nationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME). Both the MHA Program and the Health Policy and Management Concentration of the MPH Program submitted to a process of self study in 2019-2020, participated in a CAHME Site Visit in Fall 2020, and successfully received accreditation for both modalities in Spring 2021. The SBU MHA Program is the only accredited MHA program within the SUNY system. Learn more about the accreditation process here.
*The Health Policy and Management (HPM) concentration of the MPH is accredited by CAHME until June 30, 2024, and will not be renewed. The HPM concentration will remain accredited by CEPH.
