25 Years of Transforming Public Health

The UTHealth School of Public Health Dallas Campus opened its doors 25 years ago with the mission to improve the health of communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, across the state, nation, and worldwide. This year, we celebrate the accomplishments of our campus faculty, students, and staff over the last quarter century and celebrate the imprint they have left on the region. Promoting good health by preventing disease and improving quality of life is our business and our passion. We do this by conducting cutting-edge public health research and by training the next generation of public health leaders. We are proud to forever be connected to the rich history of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex as we serve its communities with dedication.

As the UTHealth School of Public Health Dallas Campus celebrates 25 Years of Transforming Public Health, we invite you on our journey to shape public health’s future in partnership with our communities.

The UTHealth School of Public Health Dallas Campus is part of the first and most prominent schools of public health in Texas, having opened its doors in 1998. We offer master’s degrees in public health, epidemiology, behavioral sciences/health promotion, and dual degrees with regional educational partners. In addition to MPH training programs, we offer three doctoral programs; a PhD in Epidemiology, a PhD in Behavioral Sciences, a DrPH in Health Promotion, and a wide range of certificate programs to address the public health training needs of the DFW and North Texas regions. Since our founding, over 440 graduate degrees have been conferred at the Dallas campus including nearly a dozen doctoral degrees.

Over the next several decades, our foremost goal will be to deepen our footprint further locally, across the state, nationally, and globally. We plan to do this by training the next generation of leaders who will be at the forefront of crafting sustainable solutions for the most critical health concerns of our times. We will do this by valuing diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our work and we will achieve this by fostering unprecedented collaborations with researchers, practitioners, community leaders, and policymakers.

We are enthusiastic about what the next 25 years and beyond will look like for UTHealth School of Public Health Dallas Campus. We invite you to celebrate with us, explore our campus; and hope you will come along for the journey.
