Master of Science in Health Security

In a world increasingly shaped by emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases and pandemic threats, extreme weather events such as flash flooding and rapidly intensifying hurricanes, and geopolitical instability, the need for a prepared public health workforce has never been more urgent. The new, innovative MS in Health Security from the Celia Scott Weatherhead School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine at Tulane University stands at the intersection of science, leadership, and crisis response—equipping students with the practical tools and critical insight to protect population health in times of uncertainty. Built on Tulane’s longstanding legacy of public health leadership and deep ties to the Gulf South’s complex disaster landscape, this forward-looking program prepares graduates to strengthen preparedness systems, respond to biological threats, manage emergency communications, and shape policy in high-stakes environments. Whether responding to a disease outbreak, planning for extreme weather-driven health disruptions, or coordinating across agencies during a national emergency, students will gain the interdisciplinary training needed to lead. With flexible learning options, immersive case studies, substantial faculty expertise in the health security field, and strong partnerships with agencies like the CDC, large hospital systems, and others in the health security enterprise, Tulane’s MS in Health Security is more than a degree—it’s a call to the front lines of public health. Join a new generation of professionals ready to safeguard communities, build systems that endure, and lead through the crises that define our time.
