Founded in 1984, the USF College of Public Health was first accredited in 1987. After the college’s last site visit by the Council on Education in Public Health, we are pleased to announce that COPH was re-accredited for the maximum seven-year term, through July 1, 2026. COPH is currently undergoing a review by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) for [re-]accreditation, having completed its Self-Study submission and site-visit in 2026.
