Master's Student: The best part about the MPH program at Hopkins is the amount of freedom and flexibility the degree gives. I have so many interests and appreciate not having to be boxed into one specific area. Funny enough, that is also the "worst" thing about it.

There are so many faculty you want to connect with and so many research projects or other opportunities you want to participate in, but it would not be wise to try and do it all. What a beautiful problem to have!... Read 16 reviews

Doctoral Student: Very rigorous but that's what it takes to be the best.
