We value:

• Evidence-based learning

• Diversity through inclusiveness and respect for individuals and groups of diverse backgrounds, interests, cultures, and practices, grounded in human rights
• A healthy and supportive environment that cultivates professional development of its faculty, staff and students

Diversity

Promoting and embracing diversity is central to the mission of the Master of Public Health Program, the UW School of Medicine and Public Health and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. UW–Madison has made promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion a top priority of institutional life. The MPH Program is committed to a strategy of inclusive excellence by recruiting and sustaining a diverse student body, faculty and staff and providing training that is dedicated to producing public health practitioners who understand the needs of diverse individuals, families and populations.
