At the School of Public Health in Newark
The M.P.H. in urban public health prepares students to advance the health and well-being in diverse,
dynamic, and often marginalized, urban populations in New Jersey, the
United States, and the world. With a focus on health disparities,
students will examine how the characteristics of the urban environment
can affect health and well-being. Through innovative coursework and a
practicum, the M.P.H. in urban public health concentration will train
diverse and skilled professionals who promote and protect the health of
urban communities. The Rutgers School of Public Health is preparing
the next generation of urban public health leaders and professionals
who promote and protect the health of urban communities by understanding
and applying the multiple, fluid, dynamic, intersectional identities of
urban populations.
