Editor’s note: <\/b>Military Times is supplementing our Best for Vets series of survey-based rankings with themed computer-based rankings from College Factual. College Factual uses public databases to evaluate colleges. These rankings were not compiled by Military Times.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although more people have access to health care every day, costs continue to escalate, and many in the U.S. and around the world go without adequate medical care. Studying public health in college puts you in a position to educate the public on crucial health issues as well as develop and administer policies and come up with new ideas on reaching people and improving the quality of life of vulnerable populations. Once only thought of as a master’s degree, a bachelor’s in public health is growing in popularity<\/a>. An undergraduate degree can set you up for entry-level positions in hospitals, research centers, government agencies and charities, as well as prepare you for further study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veterans interested in public health often have keen insight into these issues, as they have had exposure to diverse locations and communities. If you’re interested in the health care field and looking to make a difference in your work, this could be the career for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

College Factual has put together a ranking of the top colleges for veterans and active-duty military students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in public health. These are schools that score highly both in the quality of the public health programs and in how the schools support veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors measuring the strength of the program include the salaries of graduates, the popularity and strength of the major at the college, the availability and strength of related majors, accreditation and overall quality of the school. Salaries are estimates with data provided by Payscale<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to determine if this is a good choice for veterans and active-duty students, College Factual also includes factors such as affordability to those using the GI Bill, size of the veteran population at the college, availability of online classes, acceptance of ACE-recommended college credit, membership in government veteran agencies, and support for veterans on campus.
