Does anyone have any information on the MPH program at NYMC? If you do, please let me know. Thanks!

Do you mean NY Medical College?

I applied there for Fall '08 for a part-time MPH in Epi as I was working in the health department in the county over. My supervisor had great things to say about the program and she had previously completed some grad courses at Hopkins. What I know is -- the campus is in Valhalla (Westchester Co.) NY, and looks pretty nice from having driven by it previously 🙂 The Epi program looked pretty interesting though relatively standard for Epi. Hope that helps!

In the end I decided going full-time was the most important thing for me and I went with a different school.

Good luck!

I'm thinking of applying there. Is the app really due in august? Does that mean basically guranteed acceptance?

 

[Choklatcow]

Yes I know that for last year's application process, the due date was August.

While I wouldn't say its a guaranteed acceptance, they probably do not get 10 or 12 applicants per 1 spot in a program like some other schools do; NYMed is a smaller school that I would say draws more local applicants. In other words, a few weeks may be all they need when there aren't hundreds of applicants?

The application is due August 1st.

Behealthy what program are you looking into for NYMC? I'm applying for the Health Policy and Management program.

It's really weird to me that they don't require any standardized tests...any ideas on that?

I'd be applying for Epi. Although I'm west coast based, I've got parents in CT, and brother in NYC.

I was just talking to a friend that is a current med student at NYMC and he told me that NYMC MPH may have lost its accreditation...is that true?

Not true. NYMC is changing the accreditation status from a school of public health to a program of public health. I think it's a cost issue.

There are only about 30 actual public health schools in the country. Most MPH degrees are given through programs in public health, which are in turn part of another school. You can check this at the CEPH website.

Ah, just got an official email about this. The School of Public Health is becoming:

School of Health Sciences and Practice and Institute of Public Health
(with continuing CAPTE, CEPH, ASHA accreditation)

That's a mouthful, but it sure makes sense. Why in the world were our DPT and SLP programs in a school of public health? It doesn't fit.

LOL, I guess us public health students are getting "institutionalized"
