Introducing the Five-Year Integrated Undergraduate/MPH (UG/MPH) Degree Program

Students work closely with faculty to design an academic program that meets the core requirements of both the undergraduate degree and the MPH degree, while tailoring the courses, internship experience and thesis to the educational goals of the individual students. Students graduating from the program will be in an excellent position to enter careers in public health research or public health practice. Graduates will also have excellent backgrounds to enter medical school, doctorate programs in public health areas or other advanced degree options including law, public policy, the sciences or humanities.

Application process

Application deadline is April 15, 2023

Students should apply to the program in their fourth semester (i.e., spring of sophomore year) to maximize the planning and mentoring for the program. For the upcoming academic year, we will also be accepting students in their fifth and sixth semesters (i.e., juniors), but please note that there are very limited spots for this cohort. The application deadline is April 15, 2023.

Apply through SOPHAS Express
