NYU vs. BU MPH

[MPHApplicant902]

I was accepted to both BU ( Community and Behavioral Sciences) and NYU ( Community and International Health.) I'm very interested in minority health disparities and chronic disease prevention
(HIV/ STD) in adolescent health.

I recently sat in on a course at BU and loved it. I will be sitting in on a course at NYU soon. Both schools gave me a merit scholarship, however BU gave me a little more $$.

Does anyone have any experience/ input about these two schools? Trying to decide between them is pretty tough as they both have good fieldwork connections and strong focus areas relevant to my interests.

Does anyone know why NYU isn't listed on the public health ranking list? Is it fully accredited like BU?

Any advice or input would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

They are accredited and currently undergoing re-accreditation. http://mph.nyu.edu/about-us/accreditation.html

I don't know anything about the programs you are considering so I can't be much help, as far as that goes. Sorry.

Thanks for the info about the re-accreditation process for NYU. Do you know if NYU was accredited before? I'm assuming the re-accreditation process is something all schools must do after x amount of years have passed.

NYU is currently only a program of public health, not a full school. This is why they're not listed in the rankings.

Hi,

I'm in the same boat as you. I've been accepted to NYU (Community and International Health) and BU (International Health) and am trying to decide between the two! I know they're both good schools, but am wondering whether one is better than the other for International Health. Does anyone have any advice/experience with the schools and the internship/career opportunities they offer? Any insight would be helpful!

I am also in the same exact boat (BU IH vs. NYU CIH). How do they compare in terms of tuition and expenses? Seems like BU tuition is ridiculously high (20K/semester) ....

Comments on career and internship opportunities, anyone???
