Dual Degree Programs

The Mailman School fosters a multidisciplinary approach to public health through master’s-level dual degree programs, which are offered in conjunction with other graduate schools of the University. These dual degree programs provide Mailman School students with an opportunity to tap into the full resources of the University and to gain knowledge, skills, and perspectives in fields outside of public health. The School currently has ten dual degree programs with the College of Physicians & Surgeons, School of Dental and Oral Surgery, School of Nursing, Programs in Occupational Therapy, School of Business, School of Law, School of International and Public Affairs, School of Social Work, and Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, as outlined in the listings below.
