“I was not sure I would ever have the opportunity to pursue my MPH online while working full time and raising my children. I have wanted to make a career change for several years to utilize my skills in a different setting, yet I was not sure how to accomplish that while all the practicalities of life demanded my attention. When I first spoke with a Tulane recruiter, I knew that I had found the right program.”
