The University of British Columbia offers a distinctive combined Master of Public Health and Master of Science in Nursing program. This collaborative initiative is delivered through both the School of Population and Public Health and the School of Nursing.
As the most numerous healthcare professionals in public health, nurses benefit greatly from this MPH/MSN dual degree. The program develops expert public health nurses with comprehensive training in epidemiology, biostatistics, healthcare administration, population-based nursing strategies, policy formulation, research methodologies, and leadership capabilities - all applicable to various public health challenges across multidisciplinary settings.
The MPH stands as the premier professional qualification for public health leadership, while the MSN equips nurses with advanced clinical, administrative, and research expertise for guiding public health initiatives and assessing nursing practices. Furthermore, students in the MPH/MSN program can select from diverse courses in either school that align with core competencies established by Canada's Public Health Agency.
