What Students Say
Likes
- I like the amiable and receptive environment of my college. We are given the liberty of doing projects and research in the field of our interest. The faculty is super supportive and helpful. They are always willing to help students and guide through the appropriate resources. They have a communication lab which helps students in their assignments and presentations. I just love this resource as it is very important for students like us whose first language is not English.
- They had a unique concept of public health with intersection of social work and social policy.
Dislikes
- I am a bit uncomfortable with the expenses of this program. I think its pretty expensive. There should be more scholarships for students like us who hold a professional medical degree from India. Also, there should be more research around medical field since my school focuses more on social work side of public health and less on clinical side.
