Description:

The Accelerated Public Health Program (APHP) at Northwestern University provides high-achieving undergraduate students the opportunity to earn their bachelor’s and Master of Public Health (MPH) degrees in five years. Students in this selective program will have access to early MPH Program acceptance, specialized advising, the opportunity to complete their MPH field experience abroad, and exemption from the GRE requirement for MPH admissions. Undergraduates from almost every Northwestern school and major are eligible to apply.

Students accepted into the program will begin earning credit towards the MPH during the 4th year, and will also have the opportunity to take advantage of specialized advising to more thoroughly plan their MPH field and culminating experiences before the start of their 5th/MPH year. APHP students will pursue the generalist track or a concentration in global health, epidemiology, or community health research during their MPH year.
