Online MPH in Applied Epidemiology

I appreciate MEZCOPH for its commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion. Despite being an online student, I still feel deeply connected to both my fellow students and the faculty. Additionally, I value MEZCOPH's active engagement within communities and the positive contributions it makes to community members.

    Public health interests:

    My Public Health Interest is in epidemiology. I am data driven, and with EPI it provides us with information to promote best health practices, prevent illnesses/diseases from spreading, and protect our communities!

    Tip for future students:

    The way the MPH Online curriculum is structured makes being a full-time student and a full-time employee manageable. At first it might seem like a lot, but just remember to focus on 1 task at a time. Before you know it, you are already starting your next course! Also, do not hesitate to reach out and ask the professors any questions, all they want is for the students to succeed in their classes!
