after being some kind of pre-health for many years, i finally realized mph degree would be the closest thing to what i want to do. a few questions i came across as i started looking into the programs were..
1) how important is your "emphasis" in this degree? i'm heavily interested in studying both epidemiology and international health policy. it confuses me a lot because you only get to apply to one emphasis - what if you change your mind after you enroll? is it as easy as changing your major in college?
2) i haven't seen too many threads in regards to UC Irvine's new MPH program.. i know they're not accredited yet, but the school being a UC and all.. i'm sure they're on their way to be accredited?? is there a merit to attending unaccredited school, then having it accredited after you get your degree?
thanks in advance guys!
