I applied for Hopkins MPH in Epidemiology, but am really now very much interested in Health Policy and Management. I can't find any information online about whether or not it is possible to switch from one department to another perhaps after matriculation. Does anyone know? (I have a friend getting her MPH at Harvard that said its easy to do within your first couple weeks there; but I dont know anyone at Hopkins)

Thanks for your help!

Shayy,
If you applied for the MPH, then you will have flexibility to change your concentration. You don't have to pick a concentration until you get there really. Hopkins also allows you to customize your MPH (meaning you can design your own degree), so I am sure they won't have problems with you switching.

Thanks a lot for your reply! Such a relief because it is one of my top two choices and I would hate not going just because I wanted another department 🙂
