I haven't seen a Columbia University 2016 thread yet so thought I'd start one! I'll be starting in the fall as a MPH student in the Mailman School of Public Health. I studied anthropology as an undergrad and am really interested in architecture and planning, so even though I'll be on the medical campus most of my time, I hope to come down to the main campus regularly to study and for lectures and events. Super excited to move to NYC this summer!

I spoke with someone who graduated with a MCP and is now the director of housing in city government about this exact question. I am also interested in a MPH/MA in urban planning and wanted to know whether spending extra time to get the dual degree was worth it.

Hi all! I was recently accepted into Columbia's MPH program and I'm trying to get a feel for the areas around the medical campus on 168th.

I haven't had the chance to check out Inwood- does anyone have any experience or though

I believe Tufts' public health program is in the medical school campus in Chinatown, which is also in the city and about 10 minutes away from BU. But I know Tufts' PH program isn't ranked and the program size may be smaller, but that also means a smaller alumni network once you graduate. Your call.

Is the debt worth it for Boston University's MPH
moonwave11 replied to ContraExploitation's topic in 2010-2015 Archive
sorry to resurrect this thread but I'm interested to hear from ilikegreen (if you're still here!)-- how did you graduate in 2 years with only taking 1 class/week? I'm assuming that you took 2 classes max per semester. Isn't a FT student course load 3-4 courses/semester? -
MPH/MS in Nutrition OR MPH in Public Health Nutrition?
moonwave11 replied to rendonmana's topic in Public Health
Not sure if you have come across these already but you might want to check out UC Berkeley, Emory University, and University of Washington. I am also broadly interested in MCH and nutrition and have been looking around for programs in these areas as well. Hope that helps!
