However, finding every public health major in Georgia can sometimes be more difficult than it sounds. We’ve decided to make your life easier by ranking public health majors in the state based on a rubric we created:
- We assessed every school offering MPH programs in the state of Georgia.
- Available information was gathered from school websites, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), CollegeData, Niche, and more.
- Scored schools based on their graduation rate, retention rate, residential cost of Attendance, and students’ opinions for institutional grades through Niche.
- All of these were factored into a final score out of 400. Our full methodology is explained before the ranking.
The result is our in-depth ranking, The 5 Best Public Health Degree Programs in Georgia.
