Personal statement for masters in public health

• The personal statement should be a concise, well-written document discussing all of the following:

  •  The applicant’s interest in public health;
  •  How their experiences (personal and professional) have influenced that interest;
  •  How their career goals align with public health and their pursuit of an MPH; and
  •  Why they have chosen to apply to the MPH at MSU and how their skills and experience contribute to their candidacy.
