Nevicosi studied nutrition and dietetics at Illinois State University where he earned his undergraduate degree.
In his profile posted on the AEHAP website, Nevicosi praises the MPH program.
“It is a very flexible program according to my schedule. The online curriculum has its positives and negatives, but having the flexibility to study on my own time is a definite plus,” he said.
After graduation he plans to use his MPH degree to benefit his career with the federal government.
“By graduating with an MPA and MPH I hope to be a marketable job seeker, but also look forward to serving in the public sector again,” he said.
