Completion typically takes 3 years (6 regular semesters plus 1 summer term).
For the MPH component, students take 5 foundational courses (15 credits), a 3-credit practical internship, and 18 credits in either Community Health Practice or Epidemiology. The Anthropology MA portion includes 15 core credits in theory and ethnographic methods, followed by an 18-credit practical fieldwork option.

Qualification Requirements
Interested students must submit a separate application to each program. Each program's admission committee independently reviews applicants with respect to that degree program. Applicants may be offered admission into neither, one, or both programs. Students admitted into both programs may opt for the dual degree program or to matriculate into only the MPH or only the M.A. in Anthropology program. Students already having matriculated into either the MPH or M.A. program who desire to add the dual degree option must apply and gain admission to the other program no later than the end of their first semester of matriculation.
