Empowering Communities to Thrive in Health

The Kate Marmion School of Public Health is strengthening the state’s workforce and preparing the next generation of public health leaders to tackle South Texas’s most pressing health challenges.

Until its founding, San Antonio was the largest city in the United States without a school of public health. Today, the school brings together expertise in data science, epidemiology, biostatistics, and behavioral science to deliver a bold, interdisciplinary education. It’s a game changer—equipping students with the real-world experience and forward-looking skills needed for the public health careers of today and tomorrow.
