It is one of 17 Schools within Boston University. It is the twenty-second school of public health founded in the United States. Stressing the practical application of an exceptional education to the complex challenges facing public health professionals today, BUSPH has grown tremendously in recent years with more than 4,000 alumni, 140 full-time faculty, and students from over 40 countries. In keeping with the School's service-oriented philosophy, each department combines research and academics with a practicum requirement, resulting in a rigorous, well-rounded curriculum enhanced by work experience in a public health environment. Through longstanding collaborations with such institutions as the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the Boston Public Health Commission, and the Veterans Affairs Administration; and through international alliances with the Red Cross, the Peace Corps,NGO’s, and foreign governments, our students, faculty, and alumni draw on their own diverse backgrounds to carry out the School's mission in a variety of settings.
