The Juris Doctor/Master of Public Health (JD/MPH) program is offered jointly by Harvard Law School (HLS) and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (Harvard Chan School). The objective of the program is to support and encourage individuals with an interest in public health studies in the development of interdisciplinary knowledge and skills in preparation for a career in health law, public health policy, or a related field. Students in the program fulfill all requirements necessary to earn a JD from HLS and an MPH from Harvard Chan School. Students enroll in the Health Policy Program of the MPH, and pursue a focused study track in their MPH coursework. The usual requirement that applicants to the MPH program obtain a JD prior to matriculation at the School of Public Health is waived. Upon successful completion of the program, joint degree students will be awarded both a JD and an MPH from the respective Harvard schools. The Health Policy concentration is designed to train leaders in the field of public health policy and law. Graduates are prepared for positions in a variety of settings, including work in a health law or environmental section of a law firm, positions in local, state, and federal government, research or advocacy jobs in nongovernmental organizations, or posts in academia.
