Which is the most respected/rigorous Int'l Health Master of Public Health: Tulane, Emory or Minnesota?
I've been accepted to Tulane & Emory (Int'l health MPH) and Minnesota (Nutrition MPH with global concentration). I need to decide which to attend, and soon. The city doesn't matter too much to me--I'll be too busy to do much and I can find things I like anywhere. I already did undergrad at Tulane and even though it's post-Katrina NOLA, that's ok. I figure I'll be pretty absorbed in study. What I can't find out is which of these schools is the most respected in the International Health arena. I plan to work internationally and wonder if it matters. If anyone went to these schools, can you give me a run-down of the pros and cons? It's difficult to get a straight answer from some of the university student groups. Also, though it's not too important, if anyone knows the U.S. News & WR grad school rankings of these schools, I'd appreciate knowing! Thanks for your help!

Health statistics are extremely important, so taking statistics in a degree program like these is critical. Most of the careers in these fields are either in government (local, state or federal) or in nonprofit organizations.

What can I do with a Master's in HPER ? Is it similar to a Master's public health
What can I do with a Master's in HPER ? Is it similar to a Master's public health?
What can I do with a Master's in HPER ? Is it similar to a Master's public health? HPER stands for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. I was just wondering, because there isn't any Master's program in public health close in the area that I live. The only option is a master's HPER. So I'm just trying to decide if I should move to a different area where they offer M.S in public health or not.

No, that HPER program isn't going to cover all the stuff you will learn in a master's level public health program. MPH (yes, public health has its own masters title -- it is an interdisciplinary subject) programs include biostats, epidemiology and infectious diseases on top of the health education and programs/policy curriculum you would get in HPER. What do YOU want to do in public health? If you wanted to work with community groups and schools in chronic disease prevention, the HPER might be a better option. But if you wanted to look at infectious disease, disease surveillance, environmental health or policy making, a MPH might be worth the move.

How do I receive a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.)
How do I receive a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.)?
Currently I am an undergraduate who is planning to major in Biology. Can I just get an MPH, or is an MPH always part of a joint program (MD/MPH, for example)? Does Biology, as a major, seem ok to get into a school with MPH program? Also, how long will it take me to get my MPH?

Talk to your academic adviser. I cannot stress the importance of this enough. They will make sure you don't waste time and money taking classes that don't help you reach your goals. If he or she does not personally know, they will know with whom to speak to find out what you need to know. David E Cook Journalism Instructor www.selfteachingresources.com

Actually, you don't have to leave clinical medicine behind. I work with many medical epidemiologists. They do consultations (mostly ID consults since I work in infectious disease epidemiology). Some do clinical rotations on the side. the rest do interact with patients from time to time, such as when dealing with more exotic cases. They also have to be up to par with clinical medicine because they are assigned as first responders -- in the event of a major health emergency, they need to be on scene to treat victims. In case you DO want to leave clinical practice behind, there is a lot of opportunity in the research realm. I'm not sure how your wages are, but having a MPH degree entitles me to better pay compared to a mere baccalaureate degree. different branches of public health command different wages. Health education does not pay very well. Epidemiology pays much more. I do encourage you to pursue the MPH degree. The coursework is short and can be completed quickly (I finished my education in 14 months).

gpa was 3.47 in poli sci before taking a science minor that brought my overall gpa to 2.81 .... im in the mph program ... all the law schools ive seen look at udergrade gpa and seem to consider masters as extra credit rather than a major consideration for acceptance.. Which schools offer me the best option for acceptance?

What you're seeing is true. Law schools look at your undergraduate GPA and your LSAT first, and your grad work is considered an added plus. But it won't override a low undergrad GPA or low LSAT. Your LSAT is very low, to be entirely honest, and your GPA isn't helping you. You will be lucky to get into a tier 4 law school, and those are the ones I'd have you focus on. Those in tier 3 that I think you stand any sort of a shot at are Howard, Loyola New Orleans, and Ohio Northern U. Those are all a reach. The tier 4s are also a reach for you. There, I'd have you look at: Appalachian School of Law, Ave Maria School of Law, Barry U, Florida Coastal School of Law, Mississippi College, Nova Southeastern, Oklahoma City U, St. Mary's U (TX), St. Thomas U (FL), Texas Southern U, Thomas Jefferson School of Law, Thomas M. Cooley Law School, U Dayton, U Detroit Mercy, U North Dakota, U District of Columbia, and Whittier Law School. North Carolina Central U is of special note to you, because of all those, that's the one you have the best shot at. Your GPA is in line for all of those, but your LSAT is low for every single one. I'd have you seriously consider doing one of the LSAT prep books, and retake the LSAT. If you can even bring your LSAT up into the upper 140s, you'll be a better fit for the schools I mentioned. As you are right now, I have no confidence that you'll be admitted to any ABA approved law school.
