The accelerated MPH Epidemiology program allows high-achieving undergraduate students in the public health major the opportunity to earn both a bachelor鈥檚 and master鈥檚 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鈥檒l develop relationships with our expert faculty in your freshman year that will grow through graduation and beyond.
The BS/MPH in Epidemiology prepares high achieving students to apply theories and epidemiologic methods to promote social justice and health equity. Students learn foundations of applied epidemiological methods, epidemiologic data analysis, theories of social inequality, social epidemiology, and community partnership building.
Graduate coursework in Epidemiology bridges theory, research, and practice to prepare students to engage in rigorous, evidence-informed, and reflexive epidemiological practice. Graduates can collect, analyze, and interpret epidemiological data, and work in collaboration with diverse community partners to create social change that improves the public鈥檚 health and reduces health inequities.
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.
