Health Equity Scholars Program
We support junior scientists, practitioners, and policy advocates from across the School's ten departments who are focused on health equity and social justice research.
HES DrPH Program
The Health Equity Scholars DrPH program seeks to enroll students in a predominantly part-time schedule. Designed for the student who already has an MPH or equivalent degree, candidates intend to pursue a public health professional leadership position. Through the integration and application of a broad range of knowledge and analytical skills in leadership, policy, program management, and professional communication—coupled with preparation in a specific public health field—graduates of the HES DrPH program are prepared for careers in public agencies or private sector settings that emphasize improving health equity in population health.
HES PhD Program
The Health Equity Scholars PhD program is a full-time program also designed for the student with an MPH or equivalent degree but who seeks to focus on a specific research question within a discipline. Students will develop innovative public health research projects that address issues of health equity. The program consists of one to two years of full time coursework, followed by two to five years of full-time, independent research. Doctoral PhD programs are based within individual departments.
