    Excerpt

    Dual Masters Program

    The Dual Masters degree program allows students to pursue a concurrent program of study leading to both the Master of Arts (MA) degree in Applied Anthropology and the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree. Students wishing to complete a dual degree involving a Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH degree) should take this up on a case-by-case basis with their committees. Students choose a concentration area and degree program when they apply to the program, but this can be changed once the student has been admitted, provided they qualify.

    Doctoral/Masters Program

    Students interested in combining a program of study leading to a doctorate plus master's degree have two options: they may obtain a PhD in Applied Anthropology with an MPH in a public health concentration; or they may obtain a PhD in Public Health with an MA in Applied Anthropology. For the doctoral/masters combination, students develop individual programs of study in consultation with an interdisciplinary academic advisory committee. The committee must approve the plan of study as well as the proposal to fulfill the thesis and dissertation requirements or dissertation and special project requirements through a single project. Students choose a concentration area when they apply to the program, but this can be changed once the student has been admitted to the program, provided they qualify.

    For students who have previously earned an MPH, alone or as part of another dual degree program (e.g., Nursing and Public Health), the previous education at the Master's level will fulfill the PhD external specialization requirement in Anthropology. In this case, the student will take electives in Anthropology to complete the required number of credit hours in their program of study.
