Hey:
There are only three schools of public health in Texas.
- University of Texas at Houston School of Public Health, which has a regional campus in Dallas also.
- University of North Texas Health Science Center's School of Public Health
- Texas A&M School of Rural Public Health
If you're an instate student, all schools are pretty affordable. I was at UNT and tuition was great...very cheap.
I personally think that UT-Houston is the best of all three...and UNT still has some work to do...UNT is the youngest of course, I think. I really don't know much about Texas A&M. UT-Houston is in a great location, if you like a big city, UNT is in Forth Worth, which is kinda like Dallas' sister city, but it is a quiet city. A&M is in Bryan, Texas, which is a pretty small city.
UT-Houston offers the Phd in public health type disciplines like epidemiology, UNTHSC only offers the DrPh, which most professors thought was a waste of time. I guess...they had a better idea of what it was like for Drph's professionally. Texas A&M offers the Drph and a Phd in health services research.
The MPH at UT-Houston is 36 hours I believe, UNT is 45 hours. Also UNT is more geered towards working professionals, cause most classes are offered in the evening, but they're working on thier schleduling.
I would say go with UT-Houston, if I has to choose all over again...but that's just my personal choice.
