School of Public Health

Boston University’s School of Public Health (SPH) faculty members are actively engaged in groundbreaking research that informs not only our curriculum and scientific understanding but also public policy. From large, epidemiologic studies to bench science, our research and scholarship continue to improve the overall practice of public health. BUSPH integrates classroom education, research, and field experiences into its  19 degree programs and 8 dual degree programs  and students at all academic levels assist faculty members in a wide range of public health research. The skills-based curriculum, practicum program, and extensive community-based service programs prepare students for careers in research, industry, government, and academia. BUSPH’s location offers a connection with top hospitals, medical research, science and technology, and health-related companies and agencies, making Boston an outstanding backdrop for the study of public health. SPH students immerse themselves in this tailor-made learning environment through fieldwork, networking, and engagement with public health lectures and events.
