Return to: Academic Programs (by level)
The Dual Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) and Professional Science Master’s in Health Informatics (HI PSM) degree program allows students to earn both a M.S.P.H. and a M.S. in Health Informatics degree. The dual MSPH and HI PSM program (outlined below) consists of 60 credit hours of coursework, as opposed to the 80 required if pursuing these degrees separately.
Both programs’ admissions committees will review applicants to the dual program. Applicants might be offered admission into only the individual MSPH or HI PSM programs instead of the dual program. Similarly, students admitted into the dual program may opt to matriculate into only the MSPH or HI PSM program. Students having matriculated into either the MSPH 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.
