Accelerated (Fully On-Campus) MPH Option 

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

We currently offer two concentrations in the accelerated option:  

The accelerated option is 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.
