From Our Students
Public health at MC stuck out to me because of the diversity of the education. With a public health degree you can choose any wide number of careers. I plan to minor in political science and attend law school. My hope is that I will one day become a public health lawyer or medical malpractice lawyer.”
- Brennan Anders
I chose to follow the Public Health Program at Mississippi College because it is more personal and will help me towards my dreams in the future. I plan to use my Public Health Degree towards med school. I plan to go into cardiothoracic surgery and I knew that Public Health would help me do that.”
- R. Caroline Sanchez
