Academically, students are expected to fulfill the basic requirements of each program incorporating the following modifications. Individuals enrolled in the program will complete the core and required concentration courses for both programs: M.P.H. 31 units, M.S. 19 units. One of the M.P.H. required concentration courses may be used to satisfy an M.S. elective requirement. For the Master of Science, individuals must select either the thesis or examination option. For the examination option, the remaining 15 units required to complete the dual degree will be satisfied by selectives that have been approved by both programs. When the M.S. thesis option is chosen, the six thesis units will be completed according to guidelines specified in the M.A.S. degree requirements. The six thesis units may be used to satisfy six M.P.H. selective units if approved by the student s MEZCOPH advisor. A table showing the dual degree requirements, a list of selectives approved by both programs, and a suggested 2.5-year course sequence for the M.P.H./M.S. thesis and examination options are attached. 2
