@@wanderlust2053 I wrote an entire article on this that you can find in the Facebook group: WGU: Public Health. Even though it is not CEPH accredited you are still eligible for the public health certifications that many CEPH graduates seek after graduation such as CPH.
@@wanderlust2053 While graduating from a CEPH accredited university is a common pathway to becoming an epidemiologist, it is not the only way. Many epidemiologists have degrees from non-CEPH accredited programs, though they might need to demonstrate their expertise through experience, certifications, or additional training. Some positions may also require certification from professional organizations like the Board of Certified Health Education Specialists (CHES) or the American College of Epidemiology.
As a current student in the program, one of the biggest cons is that it is not CEPH certified. However, you can still qualify to apply for the CPH exam to get your Certification of public health, like most CEPH graduates apply for. Another con is that the program is all PAs for their assessments, and it would be nice to have an OA every once in a while so that you don’t get burned out

"Fully accredited" is deceiving. It's sort of accredited
What are the few cons?
