Stressing
the practical application of
an exceptional education to the
complex challenges facing public health professionals today, BUSPH
has
grown tremendously in recent
years with more than 4,000 alumni,
140 full-time faculty, and students from over 40 countries. In
keeping with the School's service-oriented philosophy, each department
combines research and academics
with a practicum requirement, resulting in a rigorous, well-rounded
curriculum enhanced by work
experience in a public health
environment.
Through longstanding
collaborations with such institutions
as the Massachusetts Department
of Public Health, the Boston Public Health Commission,
and the Veterans Affairs Administration;
and international
alliances with the Red Cross, the Peace Corps, and
foreign governments, our students, faculty,
and alumni draw
on their own diverse backgrounds to carry out the School's
mission in a variety of settings.
