Overview

Students apply to the dual degree program as incoming freshmen and are admitted directly into the graduate program at the same time as their admission as undergraduate students. Dual degree students are guaranteed a place in the Master of Science in Public Health program provided they continue, as undergraduate students, to meet program-specific criteria to progress into enrollment in the graduate program. Dual degree students, therefore, have a space reserved for them in the graduate program beginning in their first year, with clear criteria and achievements required to progress into the graduate program. Combined with advisement from their undergraduate academic advisor, students’ engagement with the College of Health Professions, participation in activities offered by the Public Health program and interactions with MPH faculty provide strong support toward successful progression into graduate study. In the 3+2 option, students complete three years of undergraduate coursework and two years of graduate coursework, earning both a bachelor’s degree and an MPH degree within five years. All requirements for the bachelor’s degree are completed by the end of the third year. Students choosing the 3+2 option work closely with their undergraduate advisor to plan their specific sequence of study for the completion of the bachelor’s degree, which requires completion of some courses during the summer and winter terms. Students initially pursuing the 3+2 option may move to the 4+1 or 4+2 option by consulting with their academic advisor. The 3+2 Bachelor’s–Master of Public Health option is available to students pursuing the following undergraduate majors: Exercise Science Health Science Psychology

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
