Public Health (Combined BS/MPH)
The Public Health degree has two options: (1) the traditional BS degree and (2) the combined BS/MPH degree. The BS/MPH program is created for undergraduate Public Health Students with an interest in pursuing an MPH degree. The combined program allows students to earn a BS in Public health and an MPH degree. Students admitted into the combined degree program will count 12 credits of graduate credits towards their undergraduate degree requirements.
Students in the combined BS/MPH program will take:
- HS 500 Introduction to Public Health in place of HS 340 Principles of Public Health
- HS 520 Public Health Grant & Proposal Writing in place of RPW 336 Grant seeking & Proposal Writing or RPW 440 Writing for Public Purposes
- HS 610 Cultural Competency in Public Health in place of HS 336 Cultural Competence for Healthcare Professionals
- HS 640 Epidemiology instead of HS 450 Epidemiology
In order to be admitted into the combined BS/MPH degree, students must be a current Public Health undergraduate major and have completed at least 24 credits in the undergraduate Public Health major coursework.
Students interested in the combined BS/MPH program should contact Meghan Baruth (mbaruth@svsu.edu) or Christine Noller (cnoller@svsu.edu) for additional information and for advising.
