DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

Hear From Faculty

The MPH program size is maintained at a level where students get the attention they need to succeed when they need it. Classes are always taught by faculty members and not graduate assistants; therefore, you receive direct personal attention and expertise from your professor. Each student is assigned a specific faculty advisor to guide decision-making for courses and to offer career guidance."
