All prospective students and applicants are highly encouraged to attend one or more of our concentration panels or information sessions. Please register below. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with Zoom information. We look forward to engaging with you!

MPH Concentration Panels

Faculty experts discuss their concentration, differences between M.S. and M.P.H. options, eligibility criteria, application tips, and career pathways, followed by a Q&A session. Prospective applicants are highly encouraged to attend.
