Hi everyone,
I’m an international student trying to decide between two Master of Public Health (MPH) programs: Pace University and the University of New Haven. Both programs require 42 credits, but their formats and focus areas are quite different.
Here’s what I’ve gathered:
• Pace University offers a hybrid format (some online, some in-person) and focuses on Global Health Equity. It includes an Applied Practice Experience and a Capstone project.
• University of New Haven offers a 100% online MPH with specializations in Global Health, Health Informatics, and Health Education & Promotion. It’s flexible, no GRE required, and seems convenient for working students.
As an international student, I’m especially interested in:
• Programs that offer strong career and internship support
• STEM-designated programs that support post-grad work opportunities (like OPT)
• A supportive environment for international students
• Job outcomes and reputation in the public health field
If you’ve attended either school or explored both, I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences!.
