Students in all programs are able to attend full or part time. 

Interdisciplinary Concentrations are available to students pursuing an M.P.H. Typically, the concentration consists of an additional 12 credits, with two required courses and electives.  Currently, students may complete the following concentrations:

• Complementary and Alternative Medicine
• Global Health
• Public Health Policy
  

Dual degrees are available with law, social work, journalism, and nursing. Students interested in a dual degree need to apply to and be accepted by each program individually.  Once admitted into both programs, the student will work jointly with both programs to determine an enrollment plan.
