Yes there are. I'm currently at Emory University and in the middle of the med school app process. I graduate in May 2005 and am doing my thesis at the CDC Division of Tuberculosis Elimination.

School: UCLA (undergrad & MPH)
Majors: Community Health Science, Biostatistics, Health Services, Environmental health sciences, Epidemology
Specializations: MS in different culture studies, like Asian American Studies, African American Studies and Latin American Studies
How Long: 1-2 years, most people do 2
Internships: Mandatory in summer between first and second year. Not mandatory for epidemology students and I think not mandatory for biostat students as well.
Admissions: Moderate
Notable Stuff: Very community oriented, with policy emphasis. Epi is not as strong as other private schools like Yale, Harvard or John Hopkins. There are quite a handful of international students. Community Health Science (CHS) is very broard, unlike other schools where they have specific categories within CHS. Great school and program.
