Hi kma19-thank you so much for your reply! This is very useful information--I may indeed reach out to you personally with more specific questions as I proceed in the application process. I'm definitely very interested in hearing more about the MPH curriculum overhaul. Your comment certainly speaks to the issue I have had identifying a department to which to apply. While I'm sure that, as a whole, Gillings offers courses I'm interested in taking, none of the departmental curricula themselves seem to reflect my interests, if that makes sense.

Hi everyone, I'm considering applying to a Masters' program in public health in the future (probably the cycle after next). As I live in North Carolina, UNC seems like a good choice solely for financial reasons, not to mention it is ranked #2 in the US. However, I don't see too much about UNC mentioned on these threads (especially in comparison to other schools). Is there a reason why it's not as popular on here? I am interested in learning more about the pros and cons of the School and would greatly appreciate any insight you all may have! Right off the bat, I'm interested in global health and policy, and it seems that a DC-area school may be better suited to someone with policy interests, but I'm not sure if that's a valid concern. Thanks!
