"Great school in a nice location in New Orleans, but a bit pricey"

"Tulane has an excellent school of public health, well integrated with the school of medicine."

"I think the program prepared me well for the workplace, but I didn't feel like they helped me truly find what was the right fit for me. I think the classes were a little large, and there would have been more opportunities if there had been less of us."

"Tulane University is a wonderful resource with experienced and well connected professors but you need to seek out the advice and connections and assistance."

"Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine was an excellent choice for me and my educational needs. The faculty was supportive and the curriculum was rigorous which properly prepared me for my career. I would highly recommend this school to others. Great experience!"

"Tulane has tremendous resources in terms of teacher experience, internship opportunities, library materials, journals, and travel abroad opportunities, but in such a big school, you do also need to be a go-getter yourself and pursue them, accessing them isn't as easy as just going to this school. you have to seek them out."

"My MPH program has effectively provided me with a practical opportunity to appropriately effect change in my community. I've learned various skills to effectively monitor and assess a community health program, evaluate health systems, health care agencies, etc. As an African American woman, I hope to advocate for proper health care services in my hometown of South Los Angeles. My master's degree education guarantees my competency for community health education and promotion, policy advocacy and management of community organizations."

"Phenomenal network, accessible faculty, diversity of programs/research, wonderful city, always plenty to study and plenty to play"

"The college is filled with professors that are very well informed and willing to help students that are seeking help. The classes are well developed and the school works hard to make life as comfortable as possible. It is a relaxed environment that is easy to join into. The class work may be challenging for some but there are many resources for students in need of help."

"Amazing school. The classes are amazing, and I've loved all of my professors. I feel as if I will be well prepared for life after grad school. I do wish they gave financial aid though - master's students do not receive any funding!"

"I truly enjoyed my time at Tulane and would recommend the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine to anyone seeking a exciting, challenging, and meaningful graduate program."

"Very helpful and flexible with your goals and what you have planned. They are there to help and are not overbearing. Overall, good masters program."

"There is only one con in attending my top choice graduate program at Tulane University. The one and only con is the price of tuition. Tulane University is my top choice for my Public Health Education. There is no other school similar to it in the entire United States. Their Public Health program is world renown and specializes in global health."

"As a student in the MPH program at Tulane, I was disappointed in how relatively simple the program work proved to be. I was in Epidemiology which is widely considered to be a more difficult specialization and definitely has the potential to be. Sadly, I felt that the offered courses merely dealt with the somewhat superficial aspects of the study. I would have preferred a more career based curriculum that rigorously and thoroughly prepared me for the challenges present in the real world applications of my degree. My interactions with professors were overall very positive. However, while serving as a Graduate Teaching Assistant I quickly realized that interactions with some of the professors were routinely fraught with disturbances. This obviously differs both with the student and the professor in question, but I found that some professors were clearly there to conduct their own funded research and teaching courses was an unwelcome distraction."

"Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine has a very impressive faculty with connections all over the world. Our professors are involved in countless research projects and some even consult for UNICEF and WHO. The small class size allows you to form a strong relationship with your professors and they all have open door policies if students have questions or need advice."
