Learning through service.
One of the unique aspects of SPH is the way our students serve the community as they
earn their degrees. Students and faculty work closely with officials and community
leaders, conducting research that leads to changes in health policies. We are engaged
in our community and collaborate with local, national and international health organizations.
Because of these relationships, our students have more opportunities for internships
and graduate assistantships with leading health organizations.
