Above mentioned is the list of universities that offer MPH programs and all the listed universities may not have graduate assistantships available for students. A pro tip is to contact the university if a graduate assistantship is available in the specific department is available or not before applying to the college. I recommend searching for multiple departments beyond public Health. I have seen MPH students working as graduate assistants in departments like the student wellness center of the specific university, and some work in the library, so there is no harm in exploring opportunities beyond the public health department. I listed some university that offers graduate assistantship for MPH students who can be either teaching assistants or research assistants, Refer to the following list:
