University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston School of Public Health
UTHealth Houston School of Public Health is changing the culture of health through excellence in graduate education, research, and engagement. Every aspect of our educational experience puts our core values into action: students learn to collaborate, lead, transform, and diversify the field of public health.
We’ve spent over 50 years developing relationships with communities, institutions, governments, and nonprofit organizations to support our mission of facilitating excellence in public health education, research, and community impact. These relationships extend across the country and the state of Texas, where school locations are deeply embedded into each region. Spanning into the state's major metropolitan areas, including Austin, Brownsville, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, and San Antonio, the School of Public Health works to develop and implement solutions to protect the health of the communities each region serves. We can extend the university's mission by offering different modes of learning at each of these locations, partnered with hands-on research and tangible community outreach.

The Department of Biostatistics and Data Science is the academic home for statisticians and data scientists working to help people live better by translating data into public health knowledge.
We believe that the synergy between statistics and data science has the means to revolutionize the way we improve population health and deliver healthcare services. This intersection drives evidence-based decision-making in both research and industry, and already serves an integral role in enhancing the quality of life for people around the world. We equip our students with the knowledge and experiences needed to thrive in this era of Big Data. Our well-established faculty develop and maintain interdisciplinary networks across the Texas Medical Center, and use these relationships to ensure students have the opportunity to tackle real world challenges as part of their education.
