PH Student Stories

"Pursue the classes that sound the most relevant to what you envision doing post-graduation. We have a great faculty and wonderful people to learn from."

"The skills I learned during my Applied Learning Experience (ALE) have helped me understand how to manage a project from start to finish, effectively communicate with funders, and create and follow a timeline."

"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."

"The Tufts MPH Program was where I could learn to understand the health care system from a social justice perspective."
