Master of Public Health Program Sends First Graduate to Workforce
Michaela Seiber, from Sisseton, South Dakota, an enrolled tribal member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate, began her studies in the MPH program in January 2015 and just graduated 18 months later.
Seiber graduated from SDSU in 2013 with a bachelor of science degree in interdisciplinary studies. She started working at Avera in Sioux Falls in 2015 and wanted to continue her education in public health while working full-time. Seiber said the SDSU and USD online master of public health program was the solution.
“The introduction of this program in my home state, where I want to continue to work, was absolutely perfect,” she said. “The flexibility the online program offers has been a huge benefit.”
Seiber credits her success in the MPH program not only to the faculty and students but also to the SDSU and USD collaboration.
“Both schools have things to offer that the other does not, which allows for a well-rounded learning experience for students in the program. It lets students make connections with professors and classmates that they might not otherwise interact with,” Seiber said.
