SPH-B climbs five points in the U.S. News & World Report ranking of Public Health Grad Schools for 2024–25

Tuesday, April 09, 2024

As part of its annual rankings of "Best Public Health Grad Schools" nationwide, U.S. News & World Report announces that the School of Public Health-Bloomington (SPH-B) has advanced five spots and is now #38 (of 213 schools). SPH-B’s ranking is particularly significant for a school that is less than 12 years old and has been eligible for the ranking for only half that time. The rankings are based on assessment surveys completed by deans, administrators, and faculty at accredited degree programs or schools in public health.

"My forebears in SPH-B ignited a bold and challenging new endeavor in 2012," says SPH-B Dean David Allison. Our school, which was inaugurated in 1946 and eventually became the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (HPER), placed itself in a chrysalis and emerged an infant School of Public Health. The faculty, students, staff, alumni, emeriti, and partners have since pulled together to grow a modern, 21st century, boldly creative, science-based school of public health. This year's ranking speaks to the successes we've enjoyed over the last year—I know my colleagues are deservedly proud. We look forward to climbing the mountains ahead and making an ever-greater positive difference for our students, for science, and for the health of humanity."

This year SPH-B has demonstrated strength in research and thought leadership, as well as strides in funding and growing its efforts to nurture diversity and inclusion. Exciting stories about initiatives, grants, awards, and accomplishments are always available at go.iu.edu/48bx. Recent highlights include:


  • Miriam Jocelyn Rodriguez, Ph.D. receives NIA diversity supplement grant to develop ADRD caregiver support for Hispanic/Latino families
  • Bill Ramos, Ph.D. aids in rollout of the first-ever U.S. National Water Safety Action Plan
  • One hundred percent of Master of Science in Athletic Training 2023 cohort receive passing score on Certification Exam
  • Drew Capone, Ph.D. is one of only six U.S. scientists named a National Academies Gulf Coast Early Career Research Fellow
  • CDC awards  Drs. Marco Ajelli and Maria Litvinova $2.7 million for infectious disease outbreak analysis and forecasting
  • Doctoral student Xing Yao honored at American Public Health Association conference

  • SPH-B advisor Niki Blackwell  selected for the National Conference on Academic Advising (NACADA) 2024 Region 5 Primary Role Advisor Excellence in Advising Award
  • Faculty mentors help grow SPH-B Honors Program

The U.S. News & World Report recognition is a testament to SPH-B faculty, staff, and students who continue to pursue groundbreaking discoveries in support of improved health outcomes for all.
