"My experience at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health has been nothing but fantastic. I truly appreciate the small class size that allows for engaging discussions and the many opportunities to get to know faculty outside of the classroom."

The field of public health is wide, and our School's varied degree programs will prepare you to practice in your field of interest, be it infectious diseases, maternal and child health, global health, multicultural health, or another specialty. Our broad curriculum provides students with a strong base in key disciplines—epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, health behavior, and health policy and management—and the means to apply this knowledge to solving health problems locally, nationally, and internationally.
As a student at the School, your education takes place in one of the most vibrant and inspiring places on earth—the Bay Area. The University and its proximity to San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and the surrounding Bay Area make Berkeley a unique and highly desirable place to learn and to live.
