The School of Public Health Name Change

Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of Population Health is now the School of Public Health, effective July 15, 2024.

Following the accrediting body’s acceptance of the school’s application to transition accreditation categories, the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia granted approval to change the name of the school. This is a reflection of the School of Public Health’s commitment to improving health, well-being, and equity for all populations through education, discovery, dissemination, and co-learning with the communities it serves.
