Doctor of Public Health

While all Mailman School doctoral degree programs provide students with tremendous access to renowned researchers and thought leaders across the spectrum of public health, the Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) Program emphasizes the application of science to public health, leadership, and program development.
International Students
Because the Columbia University Mailman DrPH program is for working professionals in public health or related fields throughout their coursework, it is not eligible for F-1 student status. However, individuals with a visa classification that permits incidental study for their primary purpose of being in the U.S. may attend this program. Refer to Who Can Study in the U.S.(link is external and opens in a new window) for details.
