Departments

Seven departments make up the heart of this school - each focused on one mission - to advance the public's health.

Explore our departments, discover what makes them unique, and find out what public health issues problems are being addressed and solved by our students, faculty and alumni. We are making a difference and you can too.

Each department is guided by a threefold commitment to teaching, research and service. Our faculty are active in their fields and bring their industry and government experience and connections to the classroom. Our Washington, DC location allows our students to step outside the classroom, and experience first-hand how public health works in the real world.

We bring together the creativity, resources and strategic skills that reside in all the public health disciplines to address the major health challenges of our time. By our commitment to reach across boundaries to collaborate, to inspire, to challenge… our departments are helping to create a healthier world.
