Dean’s MessageWe’re tremendously excited to be taking our highly ranked

classroom experience and making it available to working

professionals who may not be able to participate in a traditional,

on-ground program. Tulane University was originally launched

in 1834 in response to public health threats in New Orleans.

Online students will benefit from our deep history, extensive

faculty research experience, and the close connection we have

with alumni all over the globe.

OUR STUDENTS

Master of Public Health

The Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine at a Glance

In 1912, Tulane launched the first public health school in the

United States. Today, students can access more than a century

of rich history and innovative thought leadership. The online

Master of Public Health program advances our mission to

advocate for the benefit of public health by creating culturally

competent professionals throughout the world. Tulane knows

that today’s working professionals lead busy lives, and the

program was designed to expand access to a diverse group of

students driven to promote health equity, give a voice to those

in need, and create healthier communities for all. Students will

connect (digitally and in person) with peers and Tulane faculty

who are active public health researchers within the heart of

New Orleans, a city known for its vibrant culture and legacy of

resilience and tenacity.
