Joint Degree Programs

The M.P.H. program offers joint degrees with other Yale professional schools.   Joint degree candidates must apply separately to each program and are encouraged to apply simultaneously. Be advised that application procedures and deadlines may differ greatly between programs.  It is in the candidate's best interest to complete the application process early.  Yale schools do not share documentation or application information. All admission decisions are independent. Joint degree students must complete 15 course units toward the M.P.H. degree.

Joint degrees are offered with:

  • Divinity School - M.Div.-M.P.H.
  • School of Forestry and Environmental Studies - M.F.-M.P.H., M.F.S.-M.P.H.,
    M.E.S.-M.P.H.
  • International Development Economics - M.A.-M.P.H.
  • The MacMillan Center - M.A.-M.P.H.
  • Law School - J.D.-M.P.H.
  • School of Management - M.B.A.-M.P.H.
  • School of Nursing - M.S.N.-M.P.H.

Medicine – M.D.–M.P.H.
Candidates for the M.D.–M.P.H. Program must be currently enrolled in the Yale School of Medicine. Students complete the M.P.H. program requirements during the fourth year of this five year program. M.D.–M.P.H. students are required to complete a thesis instead of a capstone course. The thesis must be related to the student’s programs in both public health and medicine, and satisfies requirements for both degrees. The thesis is normally completed during the fifth year of the joint degree program. Prospective M.D., M.P.H joint–degree students should apply to the Advanced Professional M.P.H. Program.

Yale College (B.A.-B.S./M.P.H.)

The Select Program in Public Health offers Yale College students interested in the field of public health the opportunity to earn a Bachelor’s degree from Yale College and an M.P.H. degree from the Yale School of Public Health in a five-year joint program.  Candidates for the five year B.A.-B.S./M.P.H. program follow a separate application process.
