“The Master of Public Health program at Rollins fully prepared me to respond effectively to the COVID-19 pandemic as an epidemiologist. I valued the faculty’s mentorship and guidance, as they are all accomplished in their respective public health careers. The program also centered on public health in the real world with a focus on collaboration and high-standard performance.
