Undergraduate Public Health

<p>My daughter has expressed an interest in getting a public health degree. In our looking around we have only found a few schools: Tulane, GW and one of the Calif state schools. Does anyone know of any others?</p>

<p>The best, I believe, is at Johns Hopkins University, though Trinity College and USC's programs are good as well.</p>

<p>I'm interested in public health too! I agree about Hopkins being the best, and I think you can earn a BS/MPH through their program. She really ought to consider Emory as well. Although their public health program is mostly on the graduate level, Emory has very good placement rates, and the CDC and similar organizations are practically on-campus (internships are great for public health).</p>

<p>The School of Public Health at U of Mich is superb. Harvard also has an excellent school of public health. Most folks I know are getting an MPH, though.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replys. Yes, most schools only have MPH. My daughter is looking for an undergrad program in PH that she can tie with a minor in international affairs/development.</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins is the runaway best for it's undergrad Public Health program.</p>

<p>I have to concur JHU sweeps away the competetion. You can't do any better</p>

<p>Unfortunatly my daughter doesn't have the SAT/ACT stats to get into JHU</p>

<p>Johns hopkins is best for public health and I believe 4th for international studies, you're set for that.</p>

<p>Therea re many other factors than SATs when applying to Johns Hopkins, what are her stats, who is she, any talents, hook, is she a URM, is she Chelsea Clinton?</p>

<p>She is an above average student (for our part of the world) from a town in middle GA. She has an ACT of 28 GPa 3.9 unweighted because our school doesnt weight. She will have taken 5 out of the 6 AP classes her school offers. She has spent the greatest part of her life outside of school swimming but is positive she doesn't want to swim in college. She has been active on her schools model un team, mock trial, and will be editor of yearbook this year. She's a great kid but doesn't have anything a "top" school will be looking for.</p>

<p>I know someone who studied public health at UMaryland-College Park.</p>

<p>Thanks for the list and you can add Tulane. Their program begins this fall.</p>

<p>gamom your daughter has the exact same interests i do, minus a slight interest in economics...i recently found a website of accredited public health schools at <a href="http://www.asph.org/document.cfm?page=200%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.asph.org/document.cfm?page=200&lt;/a>. i'm personally looking at GW more closely now because of its location, public health school, and IR programs; USC is another university that has good programs in both fields as well. If your daughter wants to mix the two interests by looking into International Health, UCBerkeley, UPittsburg, Tulane, BU, Emory, GW, Harvard, JHU, U Michigan AA, University of Texas Austin, and Yale offer it. My dad (an MPH who is in public health for a living) mentioned that Tulane has one of the top international public health programs.</p>

<p>what about maryland on the list?</p>

<p>it's called community health for undergrads at university of maryland-CP. Not sure what the difference is though it's located in the college of public and community health</p>

<p>She is actively looking into the programs at GW, BU, and especiallly Tulane. I thank you all for the input, with so many different names for the programs it is a tough task to find them all.</p>
