The School of Rural Public Health (SRPH) is home to many
dedicated research centers and programs which serve to unify
and focus the faculty’s diverse research interests under key
research areas such as community health development, prevention
research, aging, long term care, reproductive health, rural public
health preparedness, and rural health policy.
The school focuses on improving the health of communities with an emphasis on rural and underserved populations through education, research, service, outreach, and creative partnerships.Our graduate students learn about the unique challenges facing rural communities and rural-urban interactions through coursework and fieldwork experience. The school engages in activities to identify significant emerging public health problems, understand their underlying contributing factors, develop effective strategies for health promotion and disease prevention, provide analytical efforts to show that specific strategies can improve quality of life, and yield policy to improve care systems.
To date the SRPH is the nation’s first school of rural public health. It has recently been ranked as one of the top 25 graduate schools of public health in U.S. News and World Report. The school is committed to improving public health training through state-of-the art distance education technology in five sites including Temple, Corpus Christi, McAllen, Laredo, and Austin. Ninety percent of the faculty is actively engaged in public health research and intervention programs. To date, the school has served 241 of Texas' counties.
