Meharry Medical College Reviews

"Do Not Attend This school. Please listen to me, yes the name has history but it is horrible! I’ve attended this school for a full semester. I still have yet to receive grad, it took weeks for me to get my login info, staff does not communicate with you"

"Outdated. Many professors have not worked in public health in years, thus are unable to offer real-world examples when teaching. Many professors recycle old exams. Biostatisticians and environmental professors actually stay current with research/publications. The other professors been teaching for years and are content with doing the bare minimum."

"This program is great in terms of curriculum and competiveness in the Master of Science in Public Health Field. It is a generalist program meaning there are no specified tracks to go into and tuition is quiet costly (but who doesn't have high tuition). Financial Aid is helpful once here but YOU MUST search for scholarships actively on your own. Cost of living is rising in Tennessee so picking an affordable place, in great proximity to campus is a high priority among the students so that they do not wait and due to time constraints are left with one and not the other. The Faculty and Staff are very helpful and approachable. The work load is what you would expect at any graduate program and maybe even lighter due to the fact many students hold jobs and other leadership positions in the community comfortably while completing school curriculum and daily scholastic task. Overall I love my institution and would recommend it to anyone!!Read Less"

"Meharry Medical College Masters of Science in Public Health is a unique program for the students. It encompasses an educational aspect the focuses on the health disparities faced by the people of the United States, but particularly the minorities within the country. In addition to the area of focus, the professors are helpful, kind, and insightful, due to the quality and experience each faculty member contains. From the technology center to the teachers, the employees care about the well being of their students. Additionally, the small class room sizes offers a nurturing learning environment. I went to a large public university, and did not have the benefit of small classrooms. Experiencing this opportunity which I missed in my undergraduate years has been beneficial thus far. The unique program, helpful professors, and small classrooms are undoubtedly the major benefits of the school, however, some areas are present which could use improvement. Meharry is a private historically black college, so the lack of funding or support which may occur at the school is understandable. For instance, a center where students congregate to complete assignments, go to class, and enjoy lunch is often burdened by the technology of this particular building. The wireless is a daily fight and computers may run a little slow. For the classes in the program, classes have started a little after the designated start time. As previously mentioned, this is a small institution that is progressing at an impressive rate, but some drawbacks are bound to occur, at least temporarily. The few cons present are minimal compared to what one may gain in the program. I feel exhilarated when I enter and leave the classrooms. The program is strong and demanding, but the experience and the outcome during the conclusion of it all will be a phenomenal one.Read Less"

"Entering in as a new professional in the Master's of Public Health program, I feel that the atmosphere and family-oriented environment will help me focused on my path to finish, and also will give me the encouragement and motivation to go further with my studies. Being surrounded by Medical, Dental, and PhD students gives me the confidence of getting accepted into a small competitive school. The only disadvantage that I can say at the moment is the lack of available scholarships, however it is affordable and I know the material that will be taught will be life changing for the continuation of my career goals.Read Less"
