Admission Requirements
Interested students must submit a separate application to each program. Both programs’ admissions committees will review applicants to the dual program. Applicants might be offered admission into only the individual MPH or HI PSM programs instead of the dual program. Similarly, students admitted into the dual program may opt to matriculate into only the MPH or HI PSM program. Students having matriculated into either the MPH or HI PSM program desiring to add the dual degree must apply and gain admission to the dual degree no later than the end of their first semester of matriculation into either program.
Degree Requirements
In addition to the requirements outlined below, students must complete – or be excused from, based upon prior training and/or experience – non-credit asynchronous training modules in computer vocabularies, programming systems, health vocabularies, and classification systems by the end of their first semester of matriculation into the dual degree program.

Students in the MPH/M.S. in Health Informatics and Analytics Dual Degree Program cannot pursue the MPH concentration in Population Health Analytics [PHAN].
Internship (3 credit hours)
Students pursue a single internship relevant to both Public (population) Health and Health Informatics and Analytics.
Interprofessional Elective Course (3 credit hours)
In consultation with the MPH Graduate Program Director, students select one 3-credit master’s level course from any discipline outside the Department of Public Health Sciences.
