To complete this dual degree, you will take a combination of public health core courses, MHA and MPH Health Policy & Management concentration courses, a public health elective, and practical experience courses that together total 63 credits. Current FSPH MPH or MHA students will need to apply and be accepted into the dual program at the beginning of their first semester in order to plan for a tightly sequenced curriculum.
Pursuing the program after the first semester could result in coursework that will not count toward degree completion. Additionally, MHA-MPH dual students will need to begin planning their administrative internship experience (H702) early, as it must incorporate both the MHA and MPH program requirements.
Please note that students in this dual degree must adhere to the academic standing guidelines associated with each individual degree program to meet school and program accreditation standards. Each degree requires students to maintain a 3.0 GPA, but MPH designated courses require a B or better while MHA courses require a C or better to count toward degree completion. MPH courses are indicated in the curriculum with (*).
