University of South Florida Online Reviews of Master's in Public Health

"The Public Health Masters program at USF is wonderful. The professors are very knowledgeable and supportive in your degree and your future career. Please note this knowledge is over 10 years old, so some things may have changed. Attending USF itself can be quite frustrating as it is very large, though. Parking is a nightmare, and you can expect to have to walk over a half mile during the busiest times at school or find no parking at all. But other than that I have mostly pleasant memories of USF, the students, professors, and the Public Health course content. All the course content was completely up-to-date and relevant to the career field. I highly recommend this program."

"This school is just going downhill the professors they have are terrible and don't understand technology or how to use it properly. It's ridiculous that multiple people with a PhD can't even write proper English let alone use a program correctly. I give this program a 0/5 for how helpful the Professors and staff are. I graduate with my Masters and really learned how out of touch they are once I got my first job."

"Excellent professors that really teach you the foundation of the field. It isn't an easy degree, but it's well worth it and the professors and research opportunities given to students set the school above and beyond. They are well deserving of their top 20 ranking in public health."

"As an out of state student going through the School of Public, it was difficult to make friends. Part of that I think was due to my program, living 30 minutes away my first year, and not having grown up in Tampa. However, I loved the health education program and would often go to the undergrad library for studying, writing papers, and drinking coffee!"

"I am proud to say that I am attending USF's School of Public Health. They are the best school for public health and are steps ahead of all other schools with this graduate program. They have a new type of alternative schedule that combines all core classes into one, so students can see how all concentrations of public health work together. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone interested in pursuing a graduate degree in public health!"

"More student support for anxieties and mental health would be beneficial to the program."

"This program has the benefit of a diverse faculty, all of which are extremely encouraging of students to pursue research whether it is their own or part of a faculty member's research. The program requires international field experience in order to graduate, this makes graduates of USF competitive in the international health job market. On the downside, USF is primarily a commuter school, meaning very little parking and transportation in Tampa as a whole is difficult."
