Accelerated MPH Options

Students looking to complete the program in a single calendar year may wish to take the accelerated option, which can be taken on-campus or online. Students enroll in courses starting the first session of summer semester and finish in the first half of the following summer (June-May). 

The accelerated options are fast-paced, and the course load is heavy. Seats are guaranteed in pre-selected sections of all required courses to facilitate timely completion of the degree. 

Students can pursue additional interests by choosing from electives to advance your unique career goals.
