The School of Public Health Sciences (SPHS) Accelerated Master's plan allows academically-strong SPHS undergraduate students to begin taking up to four graduate courses (600-level) prior to the completion of their undergraduate degree. Applicants are accepted into a specific master's program conditionally, pending successful completion of their undergraduate degree.
Prior to applying, students must have accelerated their undergraduate degree requirements with the successful completion of more than the normal five units (10 courses) per academic year. Specific requirements for each of the SPHS master's programs can be found in the Graduate Studies Academic Calendar.
Students may apply for conditional admission to any of the SPHS master's programs.
