The Rollins School of Public Health (RSPH) is the public health school of Emory University. Founded in 1990, RSPH now has more than 1,100 students pursuing master's degrees (MPH/MSPH) and over 100 students pursuing doctorate degrees (PhD). Students join the Rollins community from all 50 states and from more than 40 foreign countries to contribute to the school and apply knowledge to promote health and prevent disease in human populations.

Our top-ranked public health program comprises six academic departments: behavioral sciences and health education, biostatistics, environmental health, epidemiology, health policy and management, and global health, and hosts over two dozen interdisciplinary centers. We offer dual-degree programs with all of Emory's schools including business, medicine, nursing, theology, and law schools.  Unique programs to Rollins are Global Environmental Health, Global Epidemiology, and the joint EH/EPI MSPH program.

More than 200 full-time, doctoral-level faculty members and 300 adjunct faculty teach and conduct research in areas such as mathematical modeling of infectious disease transmission, exploring relationships between nutrition and chronic disease, and investigating cancer causation and control. Other research interests include identifying the social determinants of health-risk behaviors, AIDS, developing church-based health promotion programs to foster changes in nutrition and other health-related behaviors, detecting and preventing adverse outcomes in occupational settings, and evaluating the cost of health care and the allocation of health resources.
