THE MAILMAN SCHOOL EXPERIENCE
SCHOOL EXPERIENCE
Welcome to the Columbia University Mailman School of
Public Health, the premier school of public health located
in the heart of New York City. For more than 80 years, the
Mailman School has provided students with the exceptional
opportunity to make a difference in the world. The School's
curriculum combined with its internationally renowned
research and training programs enables students to gain
frontline knowledge, both inside and outside of the classroom.
Our talented, diverse student body is immersed in all
facets of today's critical health issues in order to gain the
tools necessary to forge new paths and effect change in
communities both near and far.
WORLD-CLASS FACULTY
We take seriously our role to educate and train
the next generation of public health leaders. The
School's interdisciplinary faculty are top scholars
and teachers whose work in the community,
laboratory, and classroom leads to the creation
of knowledge that impacts public health theory
and practice.
SAVING LIVES, GLOBALLY AND LOCALLY
The School is a global presence built on local
excellence. Whether we are promoting the health
and well-being of America's impoverished families
and children, working in resource-limited communities
to improve reproductive health for women,
or developing models of care and treatment for
HIV-infected people in Africa and Asia, we are
committed to meeting the health needs of underserved
populations in all corners of the world.
We have embraced our location in New York City as
an opportunity to plunge into every aspect of urban
healthcare. The School works with diverse populations
throughout the City's fi ve boroughs on
HIV/AIDS education, prevention, and care;
smoking cessation initiatives; school-based clinics;
and programs to stem the growing asthma epidemic
in our urban environment.
