Accelerated B.S. in Public Health to M.P.H. in Public Health

Our Accelerated B.S. in Public Health to M.P.H. in Public Health program allows you to complete both degrees in as little as five years. With this program, you can complete your undergraduate courses then begin your M.P.H. courses the first semester of your final undergraduate year. And, with one additional year after earning your B.S., you’ll have your M.P.H. It’s efficient, cost-effective, and an excellent way to get a head start on your career goals.

With your M.P.H., you’ll be well-prepared for some of today’s most important work in health care, including managing hospital systems and health care organizations, coordinating health programs and educating the public about health issues.
