The Radiation Therapy BS/MPH program is designed for undergraduate Radiation Therapy students with an interest in pursuing an MPH degree. The curriculum allows students to earn BS and MPH degrees with potentially 13 fewer credits than if completing the degree programs separately.
The degrees are independent; each is awarded when completed, with specified courses accepted for the MPH degree after the BS degree is awarded.
The dual program courses are offered in a variety of delivery formats including face-to-face, in the evenings, mixed-mode and online.
