About Us

In 1912, the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine (SPHTM) became the very first school of public health in the country. In fact, Tulane’s commitment to public health goes back to 1834 when the university was founded to address concerns of cholera, yellow fever, smallpox, and malaria. Today Tulane SPHTM continues to live out that mission with research and education that spans the gamut of specialty areas in public health, from biostatistics to maternal and child health, epidemiology to nutrition, health policy to clinical research, environmental health sciences to violence prevention, and much, much more.

Students learn from faculty who are actively engaged in the health needs of communities around the corner and around the globe. We’ve long been known for our hands-on approach to public health education, and employers routinely report that our graduates are prepared and ready to work on day one. This approach is true whether students learn in person or through one of our growing list of high-caliber online programs.

The school is located in the culturally rich city of New Orleans, Louisiana, and we are the leading school of public health in the Gulf Coast. We’re dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of residents throughout the region and serving as a collaborative partner on initiatives to address the inequities plaguing our communities. At the same time, we have long held a wide and diverse global footprint. Faculty conduct research and operate programs that prioritize capacity building and sustainability in numerous countries around the world, such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, Zambia, Peru, Bolivia, Taiwan, and Cambodia, just to name a few.

The school’s strengths are diverse and many. As the first school of tropical medicine in the country, we have studied vector-borne diseases extensively, with ongoing research in malaria, dengue, Ebola, and several neglected tropical diseases. We also have a strong focus on cardiovascular disease, health equity and disparities, reproductive health, and disaster response and displacement, along with growing strengths in genomics, epigenetics, and other aspects of personalized health and medicine. Topics like climate change and health, data science and artificial intelligence, and cancer prevention and control will offer interdisciplinary options to faculty and students alike in the coming years.

Our diverse faculty are committed public health professionals regularly recognized among their peers with awards, prestigious memberships, and important roles and responsibilities on editorial boards and within associations. They take their job preparing the next generation of public health professionals very seriously. Our students gain a very skills-based education here, and we are fortunate to count ministers and commissioners of health, deans of schools of public health, and presidents and CEOs of health organizations among our alumni. No matter what their role, all of our graduates go on to do important, life-changing work.

Join more than a century’s worth of Tulane graduates who have arrived with passion and left with purpose as leaders in public health.

School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine Undergraduate Student Policies

A full description of academic policies for all students in Newcomb-Tulane College can be found in the college's section of this catalog. Students should review these policies thoroughly.

Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Policies

A full description of academic policies for all students in Graduate Programs can be found in the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies section of this catalog. Students should review these policies thoroughly.

School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine Graduate Student Policies

Academic Advising

At matriculation, each student is assigned a faculty advisor who provides information on the degree and program requirements, advises students on course selection, assists students with practice and integrative learning experiences and/or research experiences, mentors students on academic and professional issues, and assess students' progress toward their degrees. Students and faculty advisors are expected to meet at least once each semester. Students may change faculty advisors with the agreement of another faculty to serve as their advisor. Students must inform the departmental administrator of the change in faculty advisor in writing.

Upon paying the admission deposit and confirming intent to enroll, master's and DrPH students are assigned a student success advisor who collaborates with the student’s faculty advisor and department.  The student success advisor provides information on degree requirements, assists students with addressing academic and transition related issues, monitors fulfillment of degree requirements, aids students in interpreting university policies and procedures, coordinates the completion of relevant university forms and requests, and acts as a liaison to various university departments.  Students are expected to meet with their student success advisor at least once each semester.

Class Attendance

Graduate Courses - Residential

Class attendance is a critical component of learning and students are expected to attend and participate fully in all scheduled class meetings and activities. Attendance policy is established by the instructor for a given course and is stated in the syllabus. It is up to the instructor to determine whether the student can make up missed quizzes, examinations or other exercises, and grades may be adjusted accordingly.  Students are responsible for notifying instructors and the Office of Student Experience about significant absences that result from serious illnesses, injuries, or critical personal problems. Course instructors must clearly state expectations for class participation in the syllabus.  Students experiencing barriers to meeting attendance requirements due to disabilities are encouraged to register with the Goldman Center for Student Accessibility to discuss accommodations and to make the necessary arrangements with their Instructor.

Graduate Courses - Online

Success in online courses is dependent on active participation and engagement throughout the course. Students are required to complete all assignments by the due date.  Live sessions in online learning create an interactive and effective learning environment.  There may be some live, synchronous sessions that students are expected to attend during which class assignments are competed for a grade. The dates for these sessions will be stated in the course syllabus.  It is the responsibility of the student to notify the instructor in advance if unable to attend to discuss alternative assignment options. For all other live sessions, attendance will not be graded, however you are responsible for all the content covered.  All live sessions are recorded.

Course Add/Drop

Students can Add/Drop courses according to the dates set each semester by the Registrar’s Office.  Please refer to the academic calendar for Add/Drop dates. Tuition refund is determined by drop date and refunds are automatically computed in Gibson. During the Add/Drop period the student can add and drop courses through Gibson without any signatures or other approval.  Courses dropped during Add/Drop will not appear on the student transcript.  Students dropping all courses in a semester must complete a resignation form. Students completing the resignation form are only resigned from the current semester and are still considered enrolled in their degree program.  Students adding and/or dropping courses must be aware of potential financial aid and visa implications and should check with the Office of Financial Aid or the Office of International Students and Scholars. After the Add period, no courses can be added and after the Drop period, no courses can be dropped without record, please refer to the withdrawal policy.

Readmitting Students to Degree Programs

Students that have not registered for courses for more than 12 consecutive months must seek readmission.  Students seeking readmission must contact the SPHTM Advising and Student Success Office at sphtmadvising@tulane.edu.  The readmission packet will be reviewed and approved by the Department Chair and Program Director.  If readmitted, the student must satisfy the current degree requirements as shown in the current course catalog and not the degree requirements under which they originally enrolled.  Students who are readmitted can apply applicable earned credit hours to their degree, provided that those credit hours have not expired. This policy does not apply to students on medical leave or leave of absence.  

​Medical Withdrawal, Leave, and Return

Students may experience medical and/or psychological conditions as well as problems around substance misuse that significantly impact their ability to complete their academic pursuits.  During such circumstances, a medical leave of absence from the University provides the student an opportunity to remain a matriculated student while also allowing time away for appropriate treatment and recovery. 

Any student who wishes to request a complete medical withdrawal from classes or leave of absence from the University should review the information here.

Incomplete (I) Grades

Students must work with instructors on a plan and timeframe to complete remaining work. A grade of "I" automatically becomes an ”F” one year after the final examination date. An extension may be obtained with the permission of the instructor by requesting an extension with the Office of Academic Affairs. 

Transfer Credits

Please note this policy exclusively pertains to transfer credits from courses that were not completed at Tulane University.  Students that completed previous graduate coursework at Tulane University must contact their faculty advisor and the Office of Academic Affairs to determine shared credit hours. 

Courses for transfer credit are reviewed on a course-by-course basis and SPHTM reserves the right not to accept the transfer of credit toward a SPHTM degree.  Only academic credits from didactic courses can be considered for transfer credit.  

Maximum number of credits potentially accepted for transfer is determined by degree:

• MPH, MSPH, MPHTM, and MS degrees – 12 credit hours
• DrPH degree - 15 credit hours (Foundational Coursework - Prerequisites only)
• MHA and PhD degrees – 18 credit hours

For a course to be eligible for transfer to SPHTM, a course must be:

• taken at a regionally US Department of Education accredited 4-year college or university.  Courses taken at universities outside of the United States must be evaluated by a transcript evaluation service (such as the World Education Service, “WES”).  For universities with formal partnerships with Tulane, credit transfers will be guided by policies outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding.
• a grade of B or higher
• a graduate level courses taken after completion of an undergraduate degree
• completed within the last 7 years at time of enrollment

Transfer Credits and GPA

Grades of courses accepted for transfer credits are not included in the GPA calculation.

Transfer Credits from Quarter-based Systems

Credits completed at an institution that uses a quarter credit system rather than a semester credit system will be accepted at 2/3 the number of hours on the transcript. For instance, a three-credit hour course from an institution that uses quarter credits will transfer to Tulane University as two hours of credit.

Transfer Credits – At the time of matriculation

In order to process transfer credit for coursework completed prior to matriculation, the student must complete a Transfer Credit Approval Form and provide the course syllabus and an official transcript.  Transfer requests for courses required by the degree program must be reviewed and approved by the Course Director.  Transfer requests for elective courses will be considered on a case-by-case basis.  A similar course must be taught at Tulane University and the syllabus reviewed and approved by the Program Director and Course Director.  New students should submit the request for transfer credits the semester before starting the program and no later than 2 semesters into the program.

Graduate Credit Earned before the Bachelor's Degree is Conferred

Generally, no credit is given for graduate courses taken before a student has completed a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution. The exception to this policy are students in an accelerated bachelor’s to master’s degree program.

Transfer Credits – After matriculation

Current students may need to take and transfer courses outside of Tulane University as part of their degree program if the course is not offered by Tulane University. These requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and must be pre-approved by the Faculty Advisor and Graduate Program Director.  Transfer of credit is not automatic and not all courses may be accepted toward their program.  Once matriculated, students cannot enroll in a course at a different university and apply for transfer credits when an equivalent course is offered at Tulane University.

Transfer Credit Expiration

No credit earned at another college or university more than seven (7) years previously at the time of matriculation may be applied to a SPHTM degree.

Course Waivers

Course Waiver: For SPHL 6020 Foundations in Public Health

Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine must ensure that all degree seeking students are grounded in foundational public health knowledge. These foundational learning objectives are taught in SPHL 6020 Foundations in Public Health. All SPHTM students (all degree programs) that meet the criteria for option 1 or 2 below are eligible to apply for a course waiver.

OPTION #1 – PREVIOUS PUBLIC HEALTH DEGREE:

Students with a previous Bachelor’s, Master’s or Doctoral degree from a CEPH-accredited public health program or school can request a waiver from SPHL 6020 Foundations in Public Health. A list of CEPH-accredited schools and programs can be found here: https://ceph.org/about/org-info/who-we-accredit/accredited/. Students who receive the waiver are required to take an additional elective to fulfill the 3 credit hours.

OPTION #2 – CHALLENGE EXAM:

The challenge exam assesses student mastery of foundational public health knowledge. Students that successfully pass the exam receive a course waiver from SPHL 6020 Foundations in Public health. All students are eligible to sit for the SPHL 6020 Foundations in Public Health Challenge Exam.  Students must score at least 70% to pass the Challenge Exam.  Students who receive the waiver are required to take an additional elective to fulfill the 3 credit hours. Students who score below 70% must register for SPHL 6020 Foundations in Public Health.

The Challenge Exam can only be taken one time. If a student has taken SPHL 6020 Foundations in Public Health and failed, they are not eligible to take the Challenge Exam and must repeat the course.

For students that receive a course waiver for SPHL 6020, transfer credit may also be available.

Course Waiver: All Courses (except SPHL 6020 Foundations in Public Health)

Course waivers will be considered on a case-by-case basis.  To request a waiver of a course students must consult with their Faculty Advisor and complete a Course Waiver Request Form.  Depending on the course, students may be required to take a challenge exam.  A course waiver must be approved by the Course Director, Program Director, and Department Chair. If the request for course waiver is approved, students must still fulfill the required number of credit hours.  The credit hours of a waived course do not count toward total credit hours for the degree.

Cross Registration

Students are identified as either online or residential students based on degree program enrollment.  Students registered for >9 credit hours in a single semester can take up to 3 credit hours in the other modality, either online or residential, during that semester.  Students interested in cross registration should consult with their Faculty and/or Student Success Advisor.  This policy applies to Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.

Change in Degree Requirements for Academic Programs

If degree program requirements change while a student is enrolled, the student completes the degree under the requirements in which they matriculated.  Students enrolled in a degree program that has been revised will be notified.  A student may voluntarily opt to complete the degree under the new requirements; however, all new program requirements must be fulfilled.  Students should consult with their faculty advisor when considering their options and will be provided guidance on how to opt into the revised plan of study. If students choose the revised plan of study, they will receive a letter of the updated requirements to complete the degree.
