Bachelor of Science in Health Science / Master of Public Health

Northeastern University

Undergraduate Health Science majors in the Bouve College of Health Sciences who are enrolled in the joint BS/MPH Program have the opportunity to take graduate courses in the MPH program during their final undergraduate year. These courses count toward both their BS and MPH, allowing them to earn two degrees in a shorter amount of time than it would take to earn them separately.It typically takes two years of full-time coursework to earn the stand-alone MPH. If you matriculate into the program having already begun your MPH coursework as an undergraduate, you have the ability to earn your MPH within a year if you continue as a full-time student.If you take the five maximum allowed graduate courses as an undergraduate, you save 15 credits worth of graduate tuition. You only have to pay for 27 credits of graduate tuition to earn your MPH. (Non-dual degree students have to pay for 42 credits).
