Columbia Mailman School of Public Health
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, located in New York City, is one of the first schools of public health recognized by the Council on Education for Public Health and remains a leading academic and research institution, ranking within the top 5 public health schools in the country. The beginnings of the school go back to 1922 when the university created the Institute of Public Health. However, it wasn't until 1945 when it became an official school. In 1999 it was renamed the Mailman School of Public Health after Joseph L. Mailman, a benefactor.[1] Currently[update], the school enrolls nearly 1000 students and is one of the largest recipients for sponsored research pertaining to public health.[1]
