The College of Arts & Sciences is collaborating with the School of Public Health on an innovative dual-degree program that will allow Boston University undergraduates to earn a bachelor’s degree from CAS and a Master of Public Health from the School of Public Health in five years. BU will unveil the program this fall.
“The establishment of this early selection pathway into the School of Public Health capitalizes on BU’s rich and unique integration of a liberal arts and professional education,” said Arts & Sciences Dean Virginia Sapiro in announcing the program. “Students can earn two valuable degrees in a compressed time frame that also saves tuition money. The arts and sciences degree is a great platform for entering the field of public health, a high-demand field that opens up many job options at home and abroad.”
