I would emphasize the wholesome feeling of closeness that I felt at Oregon State University. The campus was easy to learn and staff were not only interested in wanting to provide education but foster personal and professional development.

The faculty in the MPH program are very supportive in your graduate journey. I was an older student and I felt like my advisor and others really mentored me through the program.

There isn't a large pool of universities in the northwest that offer a concentration in environmental and occupational health at the graduate level. Thankfully, OSU does because the town and school are fantastic for more than just education.

Public Health is an exciting academic pursuit, especially at OSU! There are many opportunities and experiences that you can obtain at OSU and beyond. I wholeheartedly believe that it’s a field that they would love because it is practical and impactful in achieving positive health outcomes.

You won't find a friendlier, more compassion group of people than the ones who run the graduate program. I felt incredibly supported through the entire journey towards my MPH.

The MPH program at OSU has a variety of disciplines and courses for everyone. I would highly recommend visiting the campus of your program if you can and connecting with members of the admissions staff or current students. Having the opportunity to do this as a prospective student helped me picture myself in the program.

The applied and translational public health work we did in the classroom and in the community helped prepare me for a wide-range of jobs and careers in public health.

While OSU may not have the name association that other programs have, the education that you will receive in the HPHB program is exceptional. I'm leaving the program with tangible skills and a large network which I greatly attribute to the faculty in this program.
