The Center for the History and Ethics of Public Health
Academic Programs
Columbia University invites applicants to its program for the History and Ethics of Public Health. The academic programs offered through the Center are collaborative efforts that bring together the faculties of two of the nation’s leading research and educational units: the Department of Sociomedical Sciences at the Joseph L. Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University and the Department of History at the University’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
Its goal is to equip graduates with the knowledge and skills needed for work in academic, policy and administrative positions. Public health practitioners, policy analysts, epidemiologists, clinician and medical center staff, and clergy, as well as recent college graduates with training or interest in history, ethics, sociology, political science, philosophy, or other humanities and social sciences are encouraged to apply for admission.
The following programs are administered through the Center for the History and Ethics of Public Health:
Hygeia, Greek and Roman goddess of health and sanitation.
