I wanted to attend Michigan because Health Behavior & Health Equity has a strong emphasis
on community-based participatory research. This really aligns with my interest in
community-driven work and having research integrated into the community rather than
staying in academia.
I want to be part of the change, but there’s only so much one person can do. I realized
when I came to Michigan Public Health, it’s we, not me. Coming here, there are so many people who have the same mindset. It was really affirming.
Michigan Public Health stood out to me not only for its reputable programs, but also
for its geographical proximity, allowing me to remain connected to my roots while
gaining a world-class education.
With a degree from Michigan Public Health, you’ll join our 19,000+ alumni driving positive change at nonprofit organizations, hospitals, insurance companies, universities, research firms, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, and local and national government agencies.
