We are committed to helping our students achieve these three goals. In the last 25 years, more than 1,500 public health professionals have graduated from Hunter's programs. Our alumni are now leaders and managers in every major health agency in the region, providing a network of support for new graduates. The Program in Urban Public Health is designed for working people. Classes meet in the late afternoon and evening, Monday through Thursday.
Many assignments allow students to complete research projects at their work site.
As a result, your classmates are colleagues involved in frontline public health practice, research and management. Many students report that they can apply what they learn in class on the job the next day. Most required courses are offered every semester, allowing students to complete degree requirements in a timely fashion. Students are accepted for entry in both the Fall and Spring semesters. Courses meet once a week.
