TESTIMONIALS
Hear What Our Students & Alumni Are Saying
"My time at Andrews University completely transformed my perspective on public
health. I came in with a passion for making a difference but left with the skills,
knowledge, and confidence to turn that passion into action. Studying MPH at Andrews
showed me that real change happens when research, policy, and community
engagement come together."
Ezra O.
MPH, Class of 2025
"The AU MPH program not only deepened my understanding of public health as a lifelong calling rooted in service, prevention, and equity, but it also reshaped how I see systems, people, and purpose. Through the program, I gained a clearer vision of how historical, social, and spiritual factors intersect with health outcomes. It challenged me to think more holistically about healing—not just treating symptoms, but restoring wholeness to individuals and communities. The MPH program allowed me to learn from faculty who were not only experts in their fields but also passionate mentors who created space for meaningful dialogue. I appreciated the real-world insight they brought into the classroom, helping us connect public health theories with lived experiences. Their encouragement played a significant role in my decision to continue my education at the doctoral level."
