2. Students may enter the MPH Program after completing all PhD requirements.  

All PhD students who are interested in the MPH Program must apply to the MPH program separately. The admission requirements for each degree apply. Students are responsible for the MPH tuition and will not receive a PhD stipend during the MPH program.
