Which Public Health Degree is Easier to Graduate and Land a Job – MPH or MMSc-PH ?

r/

Which degree is easier to graduate from and better for career opportunities in public health: MPH (Capstone project) or MMSc-PH (Thesis)?

I’m currently comparing two options:
– MPH (Master of Public Health), which requires a Capstone project as the final assignment for graduation.
– MMSc-PH (Master of Medical Science in Public Health), which typically requires a Thesis research for graduation.

From your experience or what you’ve heard, which program is easier to complete?

And in terms of job prospects (especially in public health policy, management, or global health), does one degree offer a better advantage than the other?

Any advice would be super helpful!

Thank you.

    I’d go for a degree that gives you the best chance for the career you want. Easy is not the mentality you want.

    MPH is more well known. My MPH required a thesis.
