ASPH represents the CEPH-accredited schools
of public health. Associate members are programs or schools
that intend to become fully accredited schools of public health
through a formal review process administered by the Council
on Education of Public Health (CEPH). However, other programs
exist which are not ASPH members and, moreover are not necessarily
CEPH-accredited. Attendance at an ASPH member school assures
students of receiving a well-rounded graduate education based
upon the five core public health areas.
