Master of Health Science (MHS) in Health Economics: Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Location: Baltimore, Maryland, USA
The MHS in Health Economics http://www.jhsph.edu/dept/ih/globalhealthdegrees/healtheconomics/index.html will provide students with a solid foundation in general health economics and evaluation methods necessary to promote the efficient and equitable allocation of health care resources in public health and to identify relevant regulatory policies, strategies and interventions. Such methods are important in designing and assessing preventive and curative services, and are relevant to health care systems around the globe. Graduates will be well positioned to pursue doctoral training in economics and health policy or careers as analysts in both the public and private sector.
This MHS is offered jointly by the departments of International Health http://www.jhsph.edu/dept/ih/index.html and Health Policy and Management http://www.jhsph.edu/dept/hpm/index.html . Prospective students apply to one of the two departments based on academic and career interests. However, students from both departments participate in a common core of classes spanning health economics, economic evaluation, econometrics, statistics and epidemiology. Students have an opportunity to specialize, based on interests and experience, by choosing from elective courses that focus on U.S. or non-U.S. settings.
