Delta Omega is the honorary society for graduate studies in public health. The society was founded in 1924 at the then School of Hygiene and Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, when only a few graduate schools of public health existed in the United States. The Society now has chapters in over 60 Council on Education for Public Health ( CEPH)-accredited schools and programs providing advanced public health degrees.
