Fellowship and assistantship opportunities are available to students on a competitive basis; several are aimed at assisting minority students and students of other under-represented populations. Contact the Graduate School for further information.
Information on student loan programs may be obtained from the Student Financial Aid Office. Students should particularly be aware that their classification (graduate, student-at-large, or postgraduate) and the nature of their course load (graduate or undergraduate courses, and whether courses are taken for credit or audited) may affect their eligibility for certain types of financial assistance.
Frequently M.P.H. students hold full-time jobs and attend classes on a part-time basis. Most of the courses meet one day per week during the late afternoon or early evening to accommodate working students. Often commuters are able to take two courses on the same day and thereby reduce the number of trips to campus. Students working in the public health field are a valuable asset to the program as they contribute their knowledge and experiences to class discussions and projects. As most classes are kept small, this often makes for lively debate and enhanced learning experiences.
