Georgia State University’s Institute of Public Health will renamed the School of Public Health following the endorsement of the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), the national accrediting body of such programs.
The announcement by CEPH begins the two-year process necessary to gain accreditation as a school. GSU will become Atlanta’s first public university with a School of Public Health, which will be the university’s first new college in almost two decades.
Public health is a field that has been growing at the university over the last decade, from a certificate program with a handful of students to offering a full complement of programs. The university will graduate its first Ph.D. public health graduates in 2014.
