UNMC’s College of Public Health is getting superior marks for many of its online master’s programs.
The rankings are provided by different organizations, but they all rank UNMC’s public health programs in the top 16 in the nation.
Dean of the College of Public Health Ali S. Khan, M.D., M.P.H., said everyone in the college has worked hard to raise UNMC’s stature in the world of public health.
“The turmoil from completing revisions of the master’s of public health curriculum and improving the online programs — now one of the most comprehensive in the nation — has paid off for our dedicated faculty and staff in national recognition for the academic quality of the program. But the true measure is gaged by our impressive new students who are committed to be the next guardians of health,” said Dr. Khan, who has served as the dean of the College of Public Health since 2014.
