Welcome to the Boston University School of Public Health! We are excited to introduce you to our school and help you learn what we have to offer.
Our students are bright and capable. They come from around the world, with a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds. Our students are recent college graduates, practicing health care professionals, and other working professionals looking for a career change. No matter what the students' previous experiences are, the binding commonality lies in their commitment to making the world a healthier place.
Our students are committed to improving the health of populations in the classroom and in the field. BUSPH students are active students, both in the greater Boston area, around the US, and the world. Students have the opportunity to get involved in the greater Boston area volunteering at homeless shelters serving meals and going into classrooms during National Public Health Week to engage Boston area high school students in public health conversations. Our students organize fundraising events to raise money for insecticide treated bed nets to prevent malaria and town hall meetings to educate the community on issues such as the global food crisis and the genocide in Darfur.
The field of public health offers exciting and diverse career pathways. No matter what your career trajectory, you must be grounded in public health core competencies and their applications. We offer a range of programs and degrees designed to provide a comprehensive, well-rounded education in all facets of public health at both the master's and doctoral level. Our MPH and DrPH programs are designed to prepare practitioners of public health who work in program development and implementation. The MS and PhD programs are most often pursued by those focused on academic and research careers who tend to work in academia and research.
The educational program here at BUSPH uses a three pronged method of preparing students to be effective public health practitioners. At our school, education, research, and practice are combined to create a well rounded and unique educational experience for students. BUSPH faculty members are not only incredible educators; they are world renowned researchers and public health practitioners. They bring their research projects and experiences from the field into the classroom engaging students in conversations about current public health topics and issues.
It's one thing to learn about the field of public health in the classroom; it's another to apply what you learn in the real world filled with complex issues and problems specific to each setting and population. Last year, BUSPH students participated in practica at 248 sites in Boston and around the world in settings that included community-based nonprofits, government agencies, NGOs, and research institutions.
We believe that the combination of research, education, and practice unique to the Boston University School of Public Health creates an ideal environment in which to study public health. Through this combination, students are equipped to become the next generation of public health leaders.
