MPH/JD Concurrent Degree Program
Admissions: Admission to this concurrent degree program will be competitive. Acceptance will require a clearly enunciated, well-reasoned application detailing the applicant's purpose and goals for pursuing both degrees. We anticipate that many applicants will have worked in the health care industry or legal system and will have developed an interest in public health issues through that experience. Some may be seeking to broaden their previous careers and the potential impact of their work. For entry into the Concurrent MPH/JD, a student must apply for admission separately to both the Public Health Genetics MPH Program in the SPHCM and to the Law School. The applications to both schools should state that the student is seeking concurrent degrees. The applicant must satisfy admission requirements for both the Law School and the MPH in Public Health Genetics
In addition, some students already enrolled in either school may seek to apply to the concurrent degree program. This will involve a second application for admission to the other school and meeting of application requirements. The applications will be considered on an individualized basis.
