I was curious to find out how people with an MPH from Benedictine University are viewed. I don't care about going to the best school possible, but I want to make sure that the school is not viewed poorly.

Benedictine is a well respected school, especially in the health sciences. I had a friend who went there for undergrad, got into Loyola Medical School (free ride), and is now one of the top-ranked residents at Loyola Hospital.
