"I just withdrew my MPH admission after finding out just how much I may end up owing after graduating. I have been fascinated with public health for so many years. I have a Ph.D. in health communication and see so many connections to Public Health. I want to expand my communication perspectives by enhancing my Public Health knowledge and hopefully find a career path where I can use both. Thanks for providing your syllabi I devour your readings at my leisure and will share with my students too. "
