Online Master of Science/Master of Public Health Dual Degree Program

For registered nurses with a bachelor's degree in any field, the M.S. (Nursing)/M.P.H. Online Dual Degree Program allows students to earn two degrees at once, in a timely and cost-efficient manner. There is no residency requirement.

In addition to receiving guidance from the faculty, students are mentored by a national public health nurse leader who provides career coaching, practical applications, and leadership mentoring. In online courses, traditional classroom exchanges are replaced with online chats, discussions, and assignments of critical learning activities necessary for a contemporary public health workforce. Students enroll in courses with professionals and faculty from other disciplines so that learning reflects the perspective and practice of the interdisciplinary environment in population practice. Clinical experiences are arranged with the students in their own geographic locations.
