The School of Public Health offers three dual programs which allows students to obtain a Bachelor of Science with a major in either Public Health, Interdisciplinary Engineering or Industrial Engineering and a Master of Public Health within five years.
The 3+2 programs are more than a means to produce next-level Public Health practitioners. They will deliver a graduate who can not only immediately impact the field of Public Health as a public health professional, but also deliver someone with a well-rounded understanding of the role that Public Health plays in medicine, nursing, allied health or other health professions.
Follow the links to the left to learn more about the specific 3+2 programs.
This program will enable students to complete the requirements for both a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a Masters of Public Health within five years. Students will receive both degrees upon completion of the program to then become competitive in the workforce or for health profession programs.
Students can apply to the following MPH concentration areas:
Students apply in the fall/spring of their junior year, and the combined program begins fall of their senior year.

The College of Engineering and School of Public Health offer a combination degree program leading to the BS in Interdisciplinary Engineering (ITDE) and Master of Public Health (MPH) in Occupational Safety and Health degrees. This program is structured to allow students to complete it in five academic years, reducing the typical time to completion for sequential degrees by one year.
This combined degree program will educate students in biomedical technology and public health aspects of occupational environments. It utilizes an interdisciplinary approach to integrate relevant aspects of human health monitoring, ergonomics and workplace design, and public education and intervention for the purpose of creating healthier and safer working environments. This program has developed from university interdisciplinary research initiatives that are addressing the grand challenge of overcoming the human and economic burden of diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions in underserved communities.
Students who enroll in the combined program complete their first three academic years in the College of Engineering. Upon the conclusion of the spring semester of the third year, students begin concurrent coursework in the School of Public Health and College of Engineering for the fourth and fifth academic years. Students must complete all curriculum requirements and all additional graduation requirements published in the applicable undergraduate and graduate catalogs for the BS-ITDE degree and the MPH degree.
