UMR's Health Science Program and the School of Public Health (SPH) offer an early-admission opportunity for eligible Health Science students interested in pursuing the Environmental Health MPH degree.
The MPH program in the Division of Environmental Health Sciences emphasizes the scientific, technological, policy, and management skills required to address environmental health concerns. These concerns include investigating health hazards in our environment, protecting worker health, and establishing the basis for public health policy. The Division of Environmental Health is committed to graduating professionals with interdisciplinary training, which includes practicing innovative problem solving, and gaining experience with a diversity of approaches and applications.
To be eligible for this program, applicants must be admitted undergraduate students in Health Science, have completed at least 60+ credits, and have a GPA of a least 3.25. Students interested in pursuing this Integrated Degree Program should consult with UMR Public Health faculty and their Success Coach to identify electives they may wish to take to prepare for possible specializations in the MPH program.
Students admitted to the Integrated BS/MPH-Environmental Health program take 12 MPH credits during their Capstone year, in addition to their other Capstone requirements, and complete the MPH by taking the remaining credits as a full-time graduate student in the summer and academic year after completing their undergraduate degree.
Graduate courses cannot be applied toward both BSHS and MPH credit and degree requirements. Admitted students must maintain timely degree progress to ensure that the BSHS degree is awarded no later than the end of the senior year.
The application deadline for the Integrated BS/MPH-Environmental Health opportunity is the spring of the applicant's junior year. Interested students should consult with their Success Coach or the School of Public Health for application instructions.
