Tuskegee University’s master’s in public health program is now nationally accredited.
Tuskegee University’s master’s in public health program is now nationally accredited, a move school officials say will help them continue to train the next generation of Alabama public health workers and educators.
“This opens up the opportunity for those at Tuskegee to compete for federal dollars to enhance the work we’re already doing in our communities,” said Crystal James, the interim vice president of external affairs and general counsel for the university. “The other specific significance of our public health programs is—first of all, we’re embedded in the only veterinary medical college in a HBCU in the country. This is responsible for over 70% of Black veterinarians that are currently working in the United States. We have access to the historical documents that actually record the health and achievements of Blacks since the late 1800s,” James said.
As of now, eight students are enrolled in the public health program for the fall 2022 semester, and classes are still being filled to ensure every student is properly funded.
