Whether you want to improve health outcomes, advance social justice, conduct research, influence policy, or strengthen communities, UAlbany offers graduate programs that can help you turn those interests into a meaningful career. 

But choosing a graduate program is about more than academics. At UAlbany, students find a welcoming community where they can build relationships with faculty and peers, explore their interests, and take advantage of opportunities that extend well beyond the classroom.

At the Open House, you'll learn about:

Public Health Programs: MPH, MS, PhD, DrPH, and graduate certificates, with opportunities to study epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, health policy, community health, public health practice, biomedical sciences, and more. 

Social Welfare Programs: Learn about our MSW and Advanced Standing MSW programs and pathways to careers in social work, advocacy, community practice, and leadership. 

At UAlbany, graduate learning extends well beyond the classroom. Through internships, field practicums, research, and partnerships with community organizations and the New York State Department of Health, students gain practical experience, build professional relationships, and apply their knowledge to reach world challenges.

Bring your questions and come get a feel for the UAlbany community. Meet the people who can help you explore your options, learn about the opportunities available to you, and find the graduate program that feels like the right fit.
