Georgia Southern University (GSU) offers a respected Master of Public Health (MPH) program and issues official diplomas to graduates who meet all academic requirements, serving as a formal certification of their academic achievements. The diploma sample reflects the university’s commitment to academic excellence and professional preparation.
The MPH program, hosted by the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health, requires 42 credit hours and includes core courses that build foundational public health competencies. Specific core courses include PUBH 6532 Environmental Health (3 credits), focusing on environmental factors affecting public health; PUBH 6533 Epidemiology (3 credits), teaching methods to investigate health problems; PUBH 6534 Health Policy and Management (3 credits), covering health policy formulation and healthcare system management; PUBH 6535 Social and Behavioral Sciences (3 credits), exploring social influences on health; and PUBH 6541 Biostatistics (4 credits), equipping students with data analysis skills. A 300-hour field practicum is also required to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings.
Beyond public health, GSU offers over 150 accredited programs across 10 colleges. Brief highlights include business programs (accounting, MBA) in the Parker College of Business, engineering programs (civil, electrical engineering) in the Allen E. Paulson College of Engineering & Computing, and arts, humanities, and education programs in respective colleges, providing diverse academic options.
GSU’s diploma, available in paper and electronic formats (cediploma) at no extra cost since summer 2025, includes the university name, graduate’s name, degree (e.g., Master of Public Health), major, graduation date, and official signatures. Electronic diplomas are secure, verifiable, and shareable, while paper diplomas are mailed 6-8 weeks post-graduation. Replacement diplomas cost $25 and are ordered via Parchment. This diploma sample embodies GSU’s academic rigor and the value of its graduates’ achievements.
