Tufts Public Health and Professional Degree Programs (PHPD) tap the full resources of the university community as well those of the city of Boston, offering students programs of depth and interdisciplinary innovation. By its very nature, public health is an interdisciplinary field and the PHPD explicitly recognizes the opportunities that arise because of this. Furthermore, Boston is blessed with an abundance of cultural and academic resources, greatly enriching the overall intellectual and personal environment of the PHPD.
