MPH, Epidemiology
I chose MEZCOPH because of the holistic and wide approach of my program of interest which will provide me with strong and vast knowledge in Epidemiology and disease prevention. Moreover, the diverse nature of the student population in the MPH program interests me and is essential for my broad learning experience, coupled with the fact that Tucson is a great place to study as it is known for its affordable cost of living, great weather, and serenity.

Before entering the program:

I was completing my BS in Public Health with a Global Health emphasis at the University of Arizona.

Why did you choose public health?

I chose public health to find out more about various health issues/diseases that affect communities, so that I can help improve the health of an entire community by increasing their knowledge about health issues/diseases and their accessibility to resources.

Why did you choose MEZCOPH?

I chose MEZCOPH because I really enjoyed all the connections I made with student and faculty during my undergrad. I also really appreciated how connected with the community the college is.

Interests/hobbies outside of school:

Reading, working out, traveling, watching shows/movies

Tip for future students:

Don't forget to take care of yourself! Your mental and physical health are so important in making it possible for you to achieve your goals. Take rest days when you start to feel overwhelmed by everything.
