About

Mission Statement

PublicHealth.org publishes free healthcare-related resources for students, professionals, and patients. Many of our articles help prepare current and prospective public health students for college and beyond. We create rankings of schools that offer public health programs, including bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees. These rankings list the best schools nationwide and by state to ensure prospective students can find a school that suits their needs.

We also publish comprehensive career information pages, highlighting both popular and lesser-known jobs available to graduates with public health degrees. We maintain directories of scholarly publications and research organizations, among other resources, to connect students with professionals in public health. We know college and the post-graduation world can be overwhelming, and it’s our goal to provide the critical resources and insights our users need to move forward with their academic and professional goals.

PublicHealth.org is always free to access, and though visitors can submit their contact information to some of our sponsor schools, which partner with us through HigherEducation.com and are always clearly marked as featured institutions, we never require anyone to provide personal information to browse our site.
