Master of Public Health

The ideal preparation to positively impact entire populations.

As public health issues become increasingly critical, so does the need for Tufts MPH graduates – individuals with the knowledge to identify the root causes of complex public health issues and the skillset to develop effective, large-scale solutions.

The Tufts advantage:

• Applied Learning Experience – design and implement a public health initiative
• Rigorous curriculum with multiple options for customization
• Scholar-practitioner faculty who offer significant research and networking opportunities
• Emphasis on collaboration, community, and caring, not student vs. student competition

We take your career planning so seriously, it's built in to the curriculum.

Earning an MPH from Tufts can open hundreds of doors for you – in the public and private sector, in research and academia, in policy and advocacy – locally, nationally, and globally. That’s why our program includes a course specifically focused on career planning, including individual coaching, professional communications, and interview training.

Scholarships, assistantships, and more.

While the rewards of earning a Tufts MPH are significant, there are a number of ways to reduce enrollment costs including:

• Scholarships – awarded based on both merit and need, with no additional application required
• More than 60 available teaching assistantships – earn a $2K to 2.5K stipend depending on the course
• More than 50 available research assistantships – average compensation is $15/hr.
• Handshake, a recruitment platform that connects Tufts students to job and internship opportunities from more than 400,000 employers
