The Harvard School of Public Health (colloquially, HSPH) is one of the professional graduate schools of Harvard University. Located in Longwood Area of the Boston, Massachusetts neighborhood of Mission Hill, next to Harvard Medical School and Cambridge, Massachusetts, HSPH is considered one of the most prestigious schools focusing on health in the United States. It is the country's third-oldest school of public health. Founded in 1922, the Harvard School of Public Health grew out of the Harvard-MIT School for Health Officers, the nation's first graduate training program in population health. Julio Frenk, the Minister of Health of Mexico from 2000 to 2006 and a former executive director of the World Health Organization (WHO), became the new dean of HSPH in January 2009.

Admission to HSPH is selective: For the class beginning in 2006-2007, 4.5% of nearly 10000 applicants were admitted, and 60% of those admitted enrolled. The middle 50% of the class that entered in 2006 had an incoming GPA between 3.50 and 3.75 (out of 4.0). About half of HSPH students already hold a MD degree, with many of the rest holding another advanced degree (typically a PhD, JD, or MBA). HSPH students are drawn from around the world, with about 40% of the student body coming from outside of the U.S.

Overall, HSPH is ranked second along with University of North Carolina School of Public Health in the 2008, U.S. News & World Report. The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health was ranked first in the same report. U.S. News consistently ranks Harvard #1 in Health Policy and Management.

The School's objectives are to provide the highest level of education to health scientists, practitioners, and leaders, to foster new discoveries leading to improved health for the people of this country and all nations, and to strengthen health capacities and services for communities.
