At Brown, diversity is not only embraced but is also seen as a vital component of a comprehensive education. By incorporating diverse voices, our school prepares students to make a positive impact on public health initiatives across all kinds of communities—promoting equity and improving health outcomes for all.

Initiatives such as the Health Equity Scholars and NextGen Scholars in Biostatistics programs provide full tuition for promising students and mark the beginning of a transformation in public health research, education and practice. The goal of these groundbreaking programs, and that of the school as a whole, is to create an inclusive leadership pipeline that reflects the communities it serves.
