"When applying to MCW’s MPH program, I was drawn to the program’s flexibility. Although I chose the 4+1 path that was offered to me, the program allows for students to complete the program at their own pace by choosing specific courseloads each semester. The program also acknowledges that prospective students have commitments outside of school."
