When Mitali Choudhary from India began looking for a public health graduate programme, she sought one that combined academic rigour with practical opportunities. That search led her to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai’s Master of Public Health (MPH) programme. “I ultimately chose Mount Sinai because of its strong reputation in research, its location in New York City, and the clear commitment to addressing pressing public health challenges,” she says.
From her first interaction with the admissions team to her experiences learning in an institution embedded within a world-class health system today, every moment has affirmed that she chose the right programme.
“At Mount Sinai, public health education is both interdisciplinary and deeply practical. Our students work alongside clinicians, data scientists, policy leaders, and community partners on research that directly informs practice. That blend of scientific rigour and hands-on experience means our graduates don’t just understand public health challenges — they’re already equipped to solve them, which is why employers consistently seek them out.”

IBM and Columbia University are partnering to make data centres more energy-efficient, as these facilities consume around 2% of U.S. energy supplies according to the Department of Energy. They are modelling AI's energy use, designing low-power chips, reducing software inefficiencies, and optimising system operations to address this issue.
V. Faye McNeill, professor of chemical engineering, is working with partners across the Global South to expand air quality monitoring in India, generate new air pollution data in Africa, and build local capacity in air quality science. The team’s success has led to informed policy decisions and improved air management across various regions.
A campus designed for impact
My long-term goal is to become a subject matter expert in supply chain, which is the backbone of the industry. I found BGSU's Logistics Systems Engineering program is a combination of engineering and management, which helps me to enhance my knowledge and skills. I joined BGSU in January 2022 and got the opportunity to work as a Graduate Assistant on an industrial project under the guidance of Dr. Sarder.

Real projects. Real change.
Mount Sinai’s public health students learn by doing. You will take part in projects within Mount Sinai and across New York City’s communities, gaining hands-on experience in health systems. It’s why graduates are ready to create change in health care, research, and policy.
“Through case studies and hands-on data analysis assignments in the Epidemiology course, I learned how to think critically about patterns of disease and health disparities,” says Ms. Choudhary. “It strengthened my ability to evaluate evidence and informed my interest in pursuing research that translates into community-level change.”
Learn from experts who care
Behind every empowering class are experts in data science, environmental health, and policy innovation. Together, you will collaborate across disciplines, building the skills and insight for careers in public, private, and global health sectors.
“From the beginning, I was paired with a programme advisor who took time to understand my academic goals and career aspirations,” shares Ms. Choudhary. “Informal conversations with professors after class have also been invaluable. They are always willing to share advice and connect students with opportunities. In addition, the programme’s alumni network has provided mentorship and guidance that extends beyond the classroom.”

Krystine Ferreira, a Master of Science in Epidemiology student, ag rees. “Dr. Homero Harari was my mentor for my culminating experience—evaluating and describing occupational exposure to chemical biomarkers associated with cleaning and disinfectant products. This has been extremely rewarding as I got to develop my own project of interest,” she says.
Ms. Choudhary describes her entire experience here as “deeply rewarding.” “The programme has provided me with a rigorous education, supportive mentorship, and the chance to grow personally and professionally,” she says. “I am confident that the skills I am building here will prepare me to make a meaningful contribution in the field of public health.”
