Accelerated Program

Undergraduate students who have earned a minimum of 75 credit hours and a cumulative GPA of 3.25 are eligible to explore the accelerated degree program option.

The accelerated degree program allows qualified students to complete their undergraduate degree and our Master of Public Health (MPH) over a five-year period. The MPH degree provides students with training in foundational competencies as well as a specific area of concentration: health promotion and behavioral sciences, health policy and epidemiology. 

Public Health majors can pursue this option as a BA-MPH or BS-MPH by working with their public health advisor. Learn more about the Accelerated Program.

This degree track allows students to integrate their prerequisite requirements into their degree program. This track does have special admission requirements and it is important to note that completing this curriculum does not guarantee admission to a professional school.
