The new programs, available through GW’s [Milken Institute School of Public Health](https://publichealth.gwu.edu/), will provide learners with a stackable degree pathway and the opportunity to continue their education at a [top-ranked](https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-health-schools/public-health-rankings?_sort=rank-asc) school.  edX’s MicroMasters programs create an innovative on-ramp for learners looking to pursue a master's degree, in addition to providing a valuable, standalone credential.

The online DrPH, modeled after GW’s on-campus program and developed under edX’s [flexible degree model](https://2u.com/latest/2u-unveils-new-partnership-model-to-increase-access-and-affordability-in-higher-education-embracing-edxs-flexible-approach-to-degree-support/), is an interdisciplinary leadership program that aims to train public health thought-leaders and practitioners who are ready to shape public health policy and practice and lead organizational change.  “2U has been a great partner in helping GW expand access to public health and healthcare management education when the need for a strong public health workforce is more important than ever, in the US and globally,” said Lynn Goldman, dean of the Milken Institute School of Public Health. “Growing and evolving our programs has resulted in us becoming one of the top-ranked schools in the world. The partnership with edX continues that evolution, broadening the education pathways available for learners to become public health professionals and leading the way to improved health for everyone, everywhere.” GW has been a 2U university partner since 2012. In addition to the Master of Public Health, GW currently offers a Master of Health Administration as well as a variety of boot camps and executive education courses in partnership with 2U and edX. To date, 2U's partnership with GW has resulted in the enrollment of more than 8,000 students.  “The George Washington University is committed to expanding access to education in a variety of in-demand fields,” said Christopher Alan Bracey, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at GW. “This partnership expansion with edX allows us to continue to grow our online offerings and deliver high-quality, innovative programs to talented learners and leaders around the globe.” “The creation of a stackable degree pathway, from MicroMasters programs to DrPH, underscores GW’s commitment to innovation in public health education and meeting the diverse needs of its students,” said Andrew Hermalyn, president of partnerships at edX. “We’re proud to work with GW to develop these world-class online education programs based on the shared vision of unlocking the potential of every learner.”  ### **About The George Washington University **In the heart of the nation’s capital with additional programs in Virginia, The George Washington University was created by an Act of Congress in 1821.
