Students of almost any major can earn two degrees in five years for purpose-driven career acceleration in Sacred Heart's 41 Master of Public Health program. Sacred Heart University offers an accelerated (4 plus 1 BA/BS-MPH) option for qualified students to earn an undergraduate and graduate degree within a five-year timeframe. Students save time and money by taking graduate coursework during their senior year, allowing them to begin the next phase of their career sooner, with more advanced skills and experience. Students interested in the dual degree BA/BS-MPH program will work with their undergraduate advisor and the MPH program director to create a flexible course schedule that allows them to select MPH courses that fit their schedule and interests. All graduates complete the required competencies for the MPH degree. Undergraduate students apply to the MPH program through the Office of Graduate Admissions. Applicants that meet the minimum GPA requirement for the graduate degree program are guaranteed admission into the graduate program.
