Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is the dedicated graduate school of public health at Harvard University, located in Boston's Longwood Medical Area. Originally founded in 1922 as the Harvard School of Public Health, it was renamed in 2014 following a major gift from the Chan family. The school offers master's, doctoral, and postdoctoral training across disciplines including epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, health policy and management, nutrition, and global health. As one of the world's leading public health institutions, Harvard Chan emphasizes research, policy impact, and interdisciplinary collaboration with Harvard Medical School, hospitals, and global health organizations. Its faculty and alumni have contributed extensively to advances in disease prevention, health systems, environmental health science, and population health policy. The school serves a primarily graduate student body drawn from diverse academic and professional backgrounds, with strong international representation and close ties to public health practice, government agencies, NGOs, and industry partners worldwide.
