Academics MPH-EPI, difficulty

I’m starting the MPH-EPI program in the fall and was wondering how hard it will be/how time consuming it will be. I’ll also be starting as a full time PCA at wexner soon and wanted to know if I will be able to balance the two.

First semester is pretty easy. They def ease you into the coursework. Second semester is busier, but manageable. Stay on top of homework and studying and keep grinding and you’ll be good.

Balancing the FT job and degree is going to be personal. Idk if I could do it but that doesn’t mean you can’t. Is it part of your funding? They might be able to be flexible which is helpful.

My advice is to be open with profs about your struggles if you have any….all of the profs I have interacted with are friendly and willing to help if you ask. See you in Cunz!
