The Master of Public Health (MPH) and Professional Science Master’s in Health Informatics (HI PSM) dual degree program allows students to earn both a MPH and a M.S. in Health Informatics degree. The dual MPH and HI PSM program (outlined below) consists of 60 credit hours of coursework, as opposed to the 75 credit hours required if pursuing these degrees separately.
