PH Student Stories

"Students can also take advantage of cross-enrolling at Tufts consortium schools...The ability to cross-enroll provided an opportunity to expand my network beyond traditional public health professionals."

"I found that my job has been starkly different from a lot of my coursework, but I think that this has been one of the most valuable aspects of my work. I get to learn something new every day, adding to the skill-set that I acquired in the MPH program."

"By improving our knowledge of tissue recognition, deciphering self from non-self, this research had the potential to enhance our understanding of organ transplantation in people."

"When I was working in the field...I discovered that it was the large public health programs that had the most significant impact."

"I have been passionate about educating myself and others to create change that will curb the overwhelming obesity epidemic since my freshman year of high school."

"I realized public health, specifically, epidemiology, allowed me to combine my interests and skills in medicine, science, math, and community service."

"I appreciated the chance to engage in vibrant discussions about cutting-edge policy questions with the students in my MPH classes"

"I realized that an MPH with a concentration in epidemiology and biostatistics could combine public health with my propensity for mathematics, and allow me to follow my passion."

"The combination and theory of practice, as well as the Applied Learning Experience, gave me a solid foundation that I can draw on to work on a diverse array of health communication projects."
