Also, what the blazes is a MHS good for?

My acceptance into Hopkins was in the MHS Environmental Health program.  Dream school, big time.  I'd love to go there.  But the downside is that I have absolutely no idea how useful an MHS actually is.

 

The site says it mostly sets you up for a PhD, and not "specifically" for employment... but that plenty of students have gone on to be employed both at NGO's and government organizations.

 

All my other acceptances are MPH programs.

Anyone have any thoughts?  Is an MHS pretty similar to an MPH, or are they entirely different?

You are most welcome . congrats on the UNC's acceptance . you restored my faith that I might hear from them after all. I really cannot make my mind yet. However, after talkìng to my lovely advisor and a couple students who had a similar situation, I am leaning towards MHS. Yet it doesn't really matter since I am yet to hear from Fulbright if they are ok with Hopkins or not!
