affi liated institutions, and a total of 23
libraries. Students can choose from more
than 1,000 graduate courses offered
throughout the University, drawing on
the resources of the schools of International
and Public Affairs, Social Work,
Business, Law, and Journalism to name
just a few. Complementing a regular
course load are scores of lectures,
presentations, seminars, fi lms, and
exhibits.
Underscoring the School's multidisciplinary
approach to public health,
several dual degree programs have been
created with Columbia's other graduate
schools. These programs allow students
to tap into the full resources of the
University and to gain expertise in fi elds
complementary to public health.
Mailman School and Columbia
Business School graduate Lara Khouri,
MPH/MBA '03, a program director at
the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's
Healthy Weight Program, entered the
Department of Health Policy and
Management's part-time program to
pursue a degree in healthcare policy. "I
took a required class on accounting and
budgeting and discovered my interest in
the business side of public health. The
opportunity to enroll in Columbia
Business School through the University's
dual degree program was simply too good
to pass up. I now have professional
degrees from two of the most highly
regarded graduate schools in the world.?
