The UConn Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) program offers a FastTrack (4+1 B.A./B.S.-M.P.H.) option for qualified students. The program allows students to complete their bachelor’s degrees in any UConn-approved discipline and the MPH degree within 5 years of their initial matriculation as undergraduates.
If you are a current UConn undergraduate with a strong interest in working in the growing field of public health in areas such as health promotion, biostatistics, epidemiology of infectious or chronic diseases and environmental health, then the FastTrack to the M.P.H. could be a great match for you!
FastTrack students will have opportunity to complete 15-18 credits toward the M.P.H. while still undergraduates, saving approximately 33% of the usual cost of receiving UConn’s M.P.H. degree. FastTrack courses offered in Farmington will be synchronously presented on the Storrs campus. After completing a B.A./B.S. degree, students who have satisfactorily completed FastTrack program requirements will enroll in the UConn Graduate School and complete remaining M.P.H. requirements with other M.P.H. candidates on UConn’s Farmington campus.
