About this Program

The public health accelerated B.S./MPH allows you the opportunity to complete a public health bachelor's degree and Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in five years, as opposed to six years if the degrees were completed separately. This program is your fast-track to an advanced practice degree in public health. You'll complete two internship experiences: a generalist public health internship in Year 4 and a global health related internship in Year 5. While not required, you can choose to participate in a study abroad experience during your second or third year of undergraduate study.
