Undergraduate Accelerated Degree
Undergraduate Accelerated Degrees:
- Public Health majors: BSPH/MPH, MSPH, MPHTM or MHA
- School of Science and Engineering: BS/ MPH, MSPH, MPHTM or MHA
- School of Business: BSM/MPH, MSPH, MPHTM or MHA
Undergraduate students in the BSPH degree in the School of Public Health, the BS degree in the School of Science and Engineering or the BSM degree in the School of Business may combine the degree with the MPH, MSPH, MPHTM or MHA degrees. Students apply to the program in the second semester of their junior year and, in consultation with their advisor, may begin taking graduate course in their senior year.
The accelerated degree program allows student to apply 12 credits of graduate foundational courses to the bachelors degree and the MPH, MSPH, MPHTM, or MHA degrees. In addition, students in the BSPH program also receive a course waiver for SPHL 6020 Foundations in Public Health. This results in the saving of approximately 1 semester of course work toward the MPH, MSPH, MPHTM or MHA degree.
