About RSPH Students

The mission of the Rollins School of Public Health (RSPH) of Emory University is to demonstrate excellence in the discovery, dissemination, and application of knowledge as it trains and supports future, leaders in health promotion and disease prevention through organized community efforts around the world. At RSPH, students learn to identify, analyze and intervene in today’s most pressing public health issues. While many skills acquired at RSPH are relevant to all departments, students are trained in one of six primary areas of study: Behavioral Science and Health Education, Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Environmental Health, Epidemiology, Global Health, and Health Policy and Management to develop distinct skill sets.
