Public Health, M.P.H., Five Year BS/MPH

The Accelerated Bachelor-to-Master's (ABM) program allows a student to earn a Public Health, B.S. and a Public Health, M.P.H. in as little as five (5) years. High-achieving students majoring in Public Health who intend to pursue a master's degree in Public Health may apply to participate in the Accelerated Bachelor/Master's (ABM) pathway. The pathway allows undergraduate students an opportunity to complete select requirements for both the Bachelor's and Master's degrees simultaneously. Upon successful completion of the B.S. portion of the ABM pathway, students must submit an application (including the application fee) to the graduate program. Additional application requirements for the M.P.H. will be waived, and the student will be admitted to the program automatically.

Successful applicants will have a GPA of at least 3.25, have at least two semesters remaining in the B.S. program, and submit a cover letter along with three letters of recommendation. The following undergraduate courses will be replaced with their graduate equivalents in the student's B.S. program of study: HLTH 4270: Bioethical Issues; HLTH 4450: Technology Applications; HLTH 3260: Environmental Health; HLTH 4430: Program Planning.
