Accelerated BSPH–MPH in Social and Behavioral Sciences

*We are no longer admitting students to this accelerated degree track. Students admitted to the BSPH program for fall 2023 and beyond should refer to the updated BSPH-MPH program track.

The accelerated 4+1 MPH in Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS) allows you to graduate with both Bachelor of Science in Public Health-Community Health and Master of Public Health-SBS degrees in just five years.

This program is one year less than the traditional six-year path of obtaining a bachelor’s and master’s degree, saving time and money and giving you the specialized skills and experience needed to be the next champion of community and public health.

This degree combines the foundations of public health and principles of community health from the BSPH with the academic theory, research, and real-world experience of the MPH-SBS degree. The 4+1 accelerated program may also be combined with pre-professional coursework.
