I live in Northern NJ and would like to stay within 300 miles of home. I plan on double majoring in biology and public health,but am having trouble finding schools that offer both majors. My stats can be seen at the link here:https://www.docdroid.net/R7B0o7M/my-resume.pdf I really appreciate all the help!
Temple University and Drexel University come to mind.
University of Rochester has a health policy major. They also have a 3-2 program for a Master’s in Public Health
My daughter is currently a senior at University of Rochester who is double-majoring in microbiology and “health behavior and society” which is one of FIVE possible undergrad majors in the department of public health there. That kind of double major is VERY common at UR. PM me if you’d like to ask her more about how Rochester approaches that kind of combination.
Rutgers and Rowan seem like obvious choices. You’d probably get a great deal from Rowan and possibly Rutgers as well. Rowan has a community health major and med school now.
Public health is usually a graduate program and an MPH is the degree that most employers are looking for.
Yes, I was able to see this throughout my college search, but do you think bio is an appropriate undergrad major for this program?
Bryn Mawr has a health minor and you can switch it to a major through self-designed program. It’s popular there. Biology at BMC is also very good as the school has a very well-regarded post-bac program for premed with high placement.
The Health STudies program looks at health from a public health perspective – https://www.brynmawr.edu/healthstudies
If you prefer a coed school, Haverford might be for you. If you’re enrolled at Haverford you can take classes and major in anything at BMC. The schools are about 1.5 miles apart and there are buses that run regularly.
If you decide on BMC, men from Haverford will be in your classes.
You can also take classes at Swarthmore and UPenn if you’re enrolled in either Haverford of BMC
Have you considered Pitt? The options for shadowing, volunteering and getting involved in research in bio or public health are pretty special.
My new thread has more details and info that might help! thanks for your help everyone 
I’m not sure if I really see myself at a small liberal arts college after being in a school with over 3k students as a high schooler. Also, I would definitely prefer coed institutions.
Sure. I can see that. Some of the schools of consortia are made larger because you can take classes at four or five different colleges. Once you’re in one, you can take courses freely. But to each his or her own.
One of my kids was in a HS with 2700 kids and is now in a college with 1300 – and can take classes at three other campuses. It’s like having a home and then venturing out to the various other schools each with its own personality and areas of specialization.
