On January 14, 2004 the Board of Regents established the first School of Public Health in the University System of Georgia and named it the Jiann-Ping Hsu School of Public Health. Establishment of the School was made possible by a generous gift from Dr. Karl E. Peace, in memory and honor of his wife, Dr. Jiann-Ping Hsu. The School transitioned to the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health, effective January 1, 2006.

The Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health offers the following degree programs:

• Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) with program concentrations in Biostatistics, Community Health Education, Environmental Health Sciences, Epidemiology, and Health Services Policy and Management.
• Doctor of Public Health (Dr.P.H.) with program concentrations in Biostatistics, Community Health Behavior and Education, and Public Health Leadership.
• Master of Health Services Administration (M.H.S.A.)

Our faculty are devoted to excellence in teaching, research, and public health practice and service. Students will gain valuable insight, experience, and skills that will contribute to their success as the future public health workforce.

The Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health houses four Centers:

• The Karl E. Peace Center for Biostatistics
