Joint Degree Option – Human Services/Public Health (HMS/MPH)

The UIS Departments of Public Health and Human Services have an articulation agreement that allows interested students to obtain a joint master’s degree in Public Health and Human Services (MPH/HMS). Although many courses are offered online, the MPH/HMS joint degree is classified as an on campus joint degree. The HMS/MPH joint degree is a 68 credit hour master’s degree option that requires students to take 32 credit hours from both departments, plus a four hour internship from one of the departments. Students take core classes from both HMS and MPH, as well as elective courses. Closure exercises from both departments are required. Students must apply to both graduate departments to be eligible for the joint degree. All prerequisites from each department apply. Interested students must meet with an academic advisor prior to enrolling.
