It can vary widely depending on the school you want to attend. Check with the schools you are considering and they can provide an "average" GRE score for admitted graduate students.

most one year MPH programs are offered only to students who are current undergraduates at that particular school. for example, since i go to cornell, i can apply to do a MPH through my school and start the requirements as a senior and therefore only stay another year. see if your current school has this or has one with a school nearby.

They may want to become the Public Health officer of their city or state. They may be leaning towards a career in health management. They could also want to run a State Public Health Testing Laboratory or a State Public Health hospital like we have here at Lemuel Shattuck Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts that handles communicable diseases and testing for the state and where some prison inmates are treated

They could go into health adminisration or be the director of a health management company. He could also work as the director of the health division at a community college or university.

What about a Masters in Health Administration
What about a Masters in Health Administration?
I am a college Junior with a 3.0 GPA (about), have decent GRE scores, and recomendations should be no problem. Another big factor is that when I get my bachelors degree I will be commisioned a medical service officer in the Army Reserve (essentially running Army hospitals). How are my chances for admission to either a MHA or Masters of Public Health with an emphasis in Health Management? How competitive are the programs? I'm talking about public universities. Thanks.

I hadn't heard that these programs were terribly difficult to get into (I used to teach in one). Unless something has really changed lately, you stand a reasonable chance of getting in.

Umm i think U of A (university of Arizona) has a good program

You'll be fine. Public Health programs don't necessarily expect you to have a medical background, although you will increase your chances of acceptance if you get some experience volunteering or working in the medical field. I suggest that you volunteer at a hospital, homeless shelter, or Ronald McDonald House. Even an animal shelter is a great place to volunteer since a major area in health care right now involves the interaction between animal and human health and disease. In the MA program, you will take classes for like statistics, epidemiology, global health, research methods, etc, to give you a solid understanding of public health care. You can also advance further to get a doctorate in public health.

Unless you have another degree in health care with a degree in public health, it'll be very hard for you to find a job. There are very limited jobs in public health, and so, they are very selective.

As I'm sure you know, the most famous such school is the Harvard School of Public Health. They've got a lot of info on their web page, but here's a really good page from their Career Services office... http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/careers/guide-intro.html

There are so many jobs that you can get with a MPH in a variety of areas. Depending on what concentration you decide (epidemiology, health promotion/behavioral science, biostats, environmental, management/policy) there are differences in income after graduation. Biostatistics is probably the concentration the fewest people choose and therefore you can make a decent amount of money as a statistician following graduation. Epidemiology is also another good field. In epi, you can work for the goverment (CDC) or corporate companies. Health promotion and behavioral sciences focuses on prevention, intervention, and changing people's behaviors to promote health. Personally, in my research I've found that these HPBS jobs are a little lower paying when you only have an MPH. For the environmental concentration, you can work in health policy with the govt or other advocacy groups. In the management and administration concentration, you can work as a hospital administrator and work on how to make health systems run efficiently. In general, with a MPH, there are a lot of very different jobs. The way I went about researching possible jobs was to look at a job site (check link below). I think with an MPH, you need to remember that you're not in it for the money, but more for what you can do for other people. However, you can live and find a job, with an MPH. If you do decide to go for an MPH, make sure to pick a concentration that you will enjoy and are interested in. Good luck!
