University of Arizona's Bachelor's program in Public Health has been ranked one of the 35 best in the nation by a comprehensive college website.

College Choice, an independent online publication, aims to help students and parents find the right school for them by publishing rankings and reviews.

"While the career paths are numerous, undergraduate degrees in public health fields are not," according to the site, which considers tuition, reputation of the schools, anticipated salary, and other factors when ranking the schools.

UA's program made the list at number 19, in part because the department also houses a Pre-Public Health major and a Public Health minor, the site says.

"While most schools offer similar concentration tracks, this program is designed around three unique tracks that are catered toward future professions: Environmental and Occupational Health, Health Behaviors, and Health Deliveries," the site said.

Spoiler alert: Arizona State University also made the list, and it's a little higher up than UA.
