The most important factors to consider when choosing a concentration area are your own interest areas, academic preparation, and career goals. If you are drawn to a particular discipline within public health, the probability that you will enjoy your studies, perform well and develop a rewarding career is good. Should your interests and aspirations change after one semester in the MPH Program, you may request to change concentration areas. Concentration faculty will consider your request to switch and your suitability for the concentration in the same manner that new applicants are chosen for admission.
