Hi guys!
I've been accepted to both programs. I understand that this is HSPH's first time doing an online/on-campus program. I live in Seattle, so this is very appealing to me. But I also worry that an MPH with an online component won't be taken seriously after I graduate. It also seems like they encourage people to continue working in their hospitals/ institutions but I just moved to the country, so I'm not really affiliated with any hospitals. I worry that I won't have sufficient networking to land a good job after graduation.
With JHU, I will need to relocate to Baltimore. The cost of living and the safety of the city concern me. Also 11 months seem like a really short time to finish all the necessary courses and a project/practicum/thesis. I don't want to rush through the MPH and not gain enough skills.
Do you guys have any advice/suggestions/personal experiences to share? I appreciate it. Thank you!
