Overview

Why Earn an MPH from SUNY Downstate?

State University of New York Health Science Center at Brooklyn isn't just located in Brooklyn—the borough is an inextricable part of our identity. When our School of Public Health opened in 2001, we were the first public institution in New York City to focus on urban and immigrant populations. Today, as we continue building the bridge to health equity, that commitment is stronger than ever.

Many of Brooklyn's 2.3 million residents are immigrants. Studies prove people who live here are disproportionately affected by many common diseases. Their needs are at the center of our program.

You'll become immersed in local communities as part of your classwork in the Public Health program, and see how public health policy and practice can change lives. As a student at Brooklyn's only academic medical center, you'll collaborate with our other colleges and schools as well as the University Hospital of Brooklyn.
