[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think combining it with some kind of clinical training would make it more attractive or even statistics or even something like computer science . What kinds of internships or summer jobs has she had or is leaning towards? That is also going to be key. I believe starting salaries are not going to be in the 6 figures but she can grow within the field with experience and education. I’d have her look at MPH programs and see. On the one hand spending a lot for the degree at a top school will be good for job prospects but if she can find a job at graduation next year that will pay for her masters then she could consider a lower ranked school. Hopkins has one and so does U of Maryland.[/quote]

You don’t sound very knowledgeable. You can get your MPH IN statistics.[/quote]

Don’t be so obnoxious. MPH is traditionally a 9 or 11 month program that is obtained after another professional degree. Two-year masters degrees in the public health arena is typically the post BA option, and has more recently become an ‘MPH’ degree just to fit the terminology. One  can concentrate in for eg epidemiology, behavioral health, health policy, environmental  health etc. Statistics is not a concentration itself in public health, although biostatistics is a course series. A masters in statistics or a masters in biostatistics is much more involved than the “statistics“ taken in a regular or general mph program. [/quote]
