Bachelor’s/Master’s in Public Health 4+1 Program Information:
The School of Nursing and Health Studies (SONHS) and the Graduate Program in Public Health at the Miller School of Medicine have developed a 5-year Bachelor’s to Master’s program in Public Health called the 4+1 Program. The 4+1 Program allows students to earn a Bachelor’s of Science in Public Health (BSPH) and a Master’s in Public Health (MPH) or Master’s of Science in Public Health (MSPH) in just 5 years.
Students who are admitted to the 4+1 program take 12 credits of Master’s-level public health courses in their last year of the BSPH. All Master’s-level credits taken as an undergraduate latter apply toward the MPH or MSPH degree. By taking 12 credits of Master’s-level work in their last year of the BSPH program and 3-6 credits the summer after graduation, students in the 4+1 program can complete their Master’s degree during their 5th year.
All Master’s-level credits taken as an undergraduate are covered under regular undergraduate tuition charges. Students in the 4+1 program only pay graduate tuition rates for any remaining graduate coursework once they complete their last year of undergraduate study.
Admission decisions to the 4+1 program are made solely by the admissions committee for the Graduate Programs in Public Health at the Miller School of Medicine.
