Individualized

The Individualized concentration emphasizes our commitment to tailoring the MPH journey to students' needs and interests. This concentration offers a comprehensive approach to public health education, providing students with a well-rounded understanding of foundational public health concepts and skills while also enabling students to create their own concentration focus. 

The Individualized concentration is particularly beneficial for recent graduates who are still exploring their options within the public health field. It also caters to working professionals who wish to pursue an MPH later in their careers or transition into public health from other industries. Our Individualized concentration is available both on-campus and online, providing the flexibility and convenience necessary for balancing existing commitments with pursuing the MPH degree.

With the Individualized concentration, students have the freedom to customize their education. After completing the Tufts MPH core curriculum, students pursue their own set of concentration courses that match their evolving interests and aspirations. Students typically propose their Individualized concentration by the end of their first semester in the public health program.
