The Facts and Figures
The Department of the Public Health (PH) has been more than 40 years of history. The master and doctoral degree programs have been for 25 and seven years, respectively. So far we have achieved 2124 graduates (Bachelor: 1758, MS: 359, PhD: 7) working both in the public and private sectors in the health related fields.
CMU’s PH department is the second long history for fostering the public health workers in Taiwan, and the longest one (established in 1972) is the Department of Public Health at NTU. We are very proud of our excellent alumni who ever had or have seats in the head or director positions of the central health administrations or local health bureaus (appointed as high-rank public servants with at least 12 levels) and their dedications to improving the quality of the public health for Taiwan.
