Doctoral students benefit from the Dornsife School of Public Health’s emphasis on urban health and social justice, and the school’s location in Philadelphia—the 6th largest city in the United States—where dynamic networks of academic, government, non-profit, and community-based organizations share a commitment to addressing health problems.

Drexel University’s pledge to being “the most civically engaged university in the country” drives its partnerships in Philadelphia and throughout the region, offering students meaningful research and leadership opportunities.
