History

In September 2006, CUNY Chancellor Matthew Goldstein announced a plan to create a graduate school of public health to open within five years. [27] The school would have an urban focus and bring together the University's public health programs at Brooklyn, Lehman and Hunter Colleges and the Graduate Center, as well as other faculty with relevant expertise from around the University. The chancellor designated Hunter College as the lead institution because it had the largest and oldest public health program, accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health, the national body that accredits public health programs and schools, since 1972.

In October 2009, the Council on Education for Public Health accepted CUNY's application to be reviewed for transforming its accredited programs in public health into a single school of public health. The review process began in 2010 and was completed in 2011. [28]

In September 2013, Dr. Ayman El-Mohandes was named Dean. [29]

In November 2015, the CUNY Trustees approved the consolidation of the school into the unified CUNY Graduate School of Public Health & Health Policy.

In October 2022, the Governor of New York Kathy Hochul and Mayor of New York City Eric Adams announced the development of a future site for the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy. [30] [31]
