Message from Dean
It is a matter of great pride and joy to introduce the Master of Public Health (MPH) Program under the Department of Public Health at International Standard University (ISU). This 70-credit, 18-month program has been carefully structured to meet international academic and professional standards, preparing our graduates to face the evolving global challenges in health systems with knowledge, confidence, and compassion. Public health is not merely a discipline, it is a calling to serve humanity. Our MPH program nurtures this spirit by combining scientific rigor with real-world relevance, guided by a team of committed educators and mentors. We believe that every student joining this program will emerge as a public health specialist equipped to make meaningful contributions to community well-being, policy development, and preventive healthcare initiatives. This is the first batch of MPH students at ISU, and we view them with immense pride and hope. They are not just learners they are the future assets of our nation, carrying the promise to build a healthier, more equitable Bangladesh and to represent our country with excellence in the global arena. At ISU, we remain steadfast in our mission to uphold quality, ethics, and innovation in public health education, shaping professionals who will heal, lead, and inspire.
