Quick answers

How are the best colleges for Public Health ranked?: By the median earnings of Public Health graduates ~10 years after entry, from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard field-of-study data. It measures financial outcomes for that specific field at each school — not overall prestige or how hard it is to get in.
Does a higher rank mean the program is better, or easier to enter?: Neither on its own. It means graduates of that field tend to earn more — which reflects the field, the school, and who enrolls. Admission difficulty is separate: use each school's acceptance rate here, then run your personalized odds. Earnings also lag ~2 years and cover federally-aided graduates.
Why isn't every college listed?: We only rank schools where College Scorecard reports field-of-study earnings for Public Health among the school's programs, so coverage grows as more institutions report. A missing school isn't a judgment — we just don't have verified Public Health earnings for it yet.
