MA IN PUBLIC POLICY / MASTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH (MAPP/MPH)

In collaboration with the Program in Public Health, the Department of Political Science offers a combined MAPP/MPH program that prepares students for a career in public health administration and policy-making.

Admissions
          • This program only offers Fall admissions.
          • Students who wish to be considered for admission into the MAPP/MPH program must comply with all application requirements for the MPH degree alone.
          • The MPH Admissions Committee reviews completed applications initially and recommends eligible applicants to the Department of Political Science, respectively, for final approval.
Curriculum

The MAPP/MPH program includes about 20 credits of overlap, which reduces the total number of credits in the combined program to as few as 63 credits. This program will take approximately 2.5 years for students to complete full-time. Students in the MAPP/MPH dual-degree program will receive both degrees upon completion of the entire program. Students will select an MPH concentration in Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Health Policy and Management, or Community Health.

Note: Plans of Study and Advising Sheets for other concentrations are available upon request from the Program in Public Health.
