Established in 1948, the Graduate School of Public Health is one of 50 U.S. schools accredited by the Council on Education for
Public Health, and the first accredited school of public health in Pennsylvania. Students at Pitt Public Health can focus their
studies in any one of our seven academic departments, or broaden their studies, either across disciplines within Pitt Public Health
or across schools within the university. Programs and specialty tracks are detailed in the individual department sections that
follow and on our web site. This past year Pitt Public Health ranked 3rd overall and 1st among state-supported schools in NIH
research grant funding, with a total amount of $44 million.
