The accelerated MPH Public Health Policy program allows high-achieving undergraduate students in the public health major the opportunity to earn both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in public health in five years, rather than the usual six.

The five-year accelerated graduate program consists of 3.5 years in undergraduate status and 1.5 years in graduate status. You’ll develop relationships with our expert faculty in your freshman year that will grow through graduation and beyond.

The BS/MPH in Public Health Policy prepares high achieving students to analyze and influence local, state, and federal policies that directly or indirectly impact the level and distribution of health in populations. Our program is nationally distinct in its inter-sectoral, systems-level, and justice focused curriculum.

Graduate coursework in Public Health Policy uses a “Health in All Policies� approach that emphasizes the social, political, and economic determinants of health. Students gain foundational understanding of social and policy theories, and their relevance to public health practice and policymaking. We uniquely train students in quantitative analysis, econometric policy analysis, and qualitative research methods, with application to real-world public health policy problems.

Through hands-on learning and mentored field placements, accelerated MPH students develop new specialized skills and ways to improve the health of communities. Public health at UWM is your home to learn, connect, and make a difference!
