Here, Public Health Stays Ahead

Achieving your goal for a graduate public health education, whether you are ready to commit to a full-time program or are a working professional, is possible at the Rutgers School of Public Health. We can help you balance learning, life, and work by offering many different degree programs, including hybrid and online options, to fit your interests and needs.

The Rutgers School of Public Health seeks to advance health and well-being and prevent disease by preparing students as public health leaders, scholars, and practitioners; conducting public health research and scholarship; engaging collaboratively with communities and populations; and actively advocating for policies, programs, and services through the lens of equity and social justice.

Under the leadership of Dean Perry N. Halkitis, the school has become a leader in bioethics, addressing cancer health disparities, climate change and planetary health, HIV, COVID-19, TB, and other infectious diseases, modern statistical methods, pharmacoepidemiology, sexual and reproductive health, LGBTQ+ health, population aging and mental health, gun violence prevention, and much more.

Students keep the “public” in public health through a variety of courses, services, opportunities, and initiatives that take place at the school’s two New Jersey locations, online, and around the globe. You’re the reason that the Rutgers School of Public Health experience is centered around excellence in education, impactful scholarship, and meaningful community engagement.
