Five-year master’s program created in public health

Starting in fall 2007, College students can begin course work for a new interdisciplinary program that will allow them to graduate in as few as five years with a Masters in Public Health degree.

Students submit a Graduate School of Arts & Sciences application to the Department of Public Health Sciences in the School of Medicine during their fourth year and begin doing course work, research and internships that can be applied to the graduate degree. They’re able to apply the cross-cultural perspectives of their undergraduate degree to the increasingly global field of public health.
