 "For me, the best facet of the UNC SPH experience were the fellow students. A truly international student body, with  many diverse backgrounds and experiences. These were good people, who had come together, with the common goal of improving the health for fellow human beings."

  • Improving public health in North Carolina will always be a top priority for the School. For example, the North Carolina Institute for Public Health, the service arm of the School, provides continuing education for public health practitioners across the state and provides forums in which public health scholarship and practice combine to form practical solutions.
  • Increasingly public health schools and programs recognize the importance of global approaches to solving public health problems. Our Office of Global Health tracks resources for faculty, staff and students throughout the School.
  • Cutting-edge initiatives, supported by  Carolina Public Health Solutions, help faculty, students, and partners anticipate public health needs and accelerate public health solutions to improve people's lives.
