ABOUT US
At the University of Maryland School of Public Health, we are driven by a passion to break down the societal barriers that keep individuals, families, communities and populations from optimum health and wellness.
Established in 2007 to advance a better state of health for the diverse populations of Maryland and beyond, our school builds upon a foundation of disciplines that originated over 165 years ago when our land grant university was established.
With more than 2800 students across 25 different degree programs—including bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral and certificate programs—the UMD School of Public Health is preparing the next generation of public health leaders who are dedicated to advancing health equity, health literacy and smart, science-based solutions to promote well-being.
The School of Public Health Student Emergency Scholarship Fund supports students who are confronted with economic hardships that could prevent them from being able to remain in school.
