While being roughly three hours away from Myrtle Beach is a nice reward, it should be no surprise that the schooling available for public health would be in such a highly populated area. With so many tourists gravitating to the area, it is definitely in need of disease prevention, and a good tackle on environmental health issues with access to all necessary health services.

If you believe strongly in having a good grasp on public health issues and are looking for a top notch school to attend to further your public health education, the MPH in General Public Health available through the Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina has a lot to offer.
