Dual and Joint Degrees

These degree programs allow you to gain a foundation in public health while complementing professional practice. Take a look at the areas of study within our school that offers opportunities for dual degrees with other programs.


Business Administration

Healthcare Administration – MHA/MBA
The MHA/MBA Dual Degree Program is a partnership between our Master in Healthcare Administration (MHA) program and the Master in Business Administration (MBA) program at the Carlson School of Management.

Students apply to each program separately and must be admitted to both programs. Typically, a student completes the dual program in three academic years.

Veterinary Medicine

Veterinary Public Health – DVM/MPH
This program allows you to combine your veterinary studies with a public health degree, giving you the credentials to work at the interface of human wellness and animal health, spanning agriculture and food industry concerns, emerging infectious diseases, and other public health issues. We designed the program so you can earn a MPH degree in the same four years as your DVM degree.
