Prepare to Improve Population Health
UMass Lowell's Department of Public Health offers the only program in New England where students at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels can learn Public Health Informatics and Technology (PHIT) knowledge and skills needed to advance health equity and improve population health. Our programs include a PHIT minor in an undergraduate degree and PHIT tracks embedded into graduate degrees and certificates.
Paid Internships
Paid internships are available to both undergraduate and graduate-level students participating in the PHIT curriculum.
In addition to receiving generous stipends, you will work with Internship Specialists to plan, select and be placed in an internship at one of the program’s community health or industrial partners, or at the organization of your choice.
Following the PHIT coursework and hands-on learning experiences, you’ll be prepared to enter this emerging field of public health and make a difference through work in health departments, nonprofits, community health centers and other health care settings, and more.
