I truly believe that the MPH program in Health Care Management at Yale School of Public Health will provide me with comprehensive insight into management in the context of health care while equipping me with the invaluable skills needed to improve the health of populations.
Accelerated MBA/MPH in Health Care Management
This innovative program, the first of its kind in the United States, enables students to earn an MBA and an MPH in just 22 months through intensive study at the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) and the Yale School of Management (SOM). Qualified students will complete core coursework in management and public health, providing them with knowledge and skills to become leaders in health care organizations across the globe.
Coursework begins in the summer at YSPH. Students will complete degree requirements through a combination of required and elective courses at SOM and YSPH. Elective coursework may be taken at SOM, YSPH or another Yale school. Additionally, students will participate in SOM’s International Experience, and will complete an applied practice experience in the health care industry after their first academic year in the program.
This joint degree program requires that applicants apply and gain admission to both schools. For more information about SOM’s application procedures and requirements, please see SOM’s admissions page.
Requirements
Students begin the program with an intensive summer session at YSPH, where they complete M.P.H. core courses in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. The first fall and spring semesters are spent at SOM, and students take courses at both schools during the remaining final year. In this program, students complete a minimum of 14 course units at YSPH and 52 course units at SOM.
Full time students at YSPH must carry a minimum of 4 course units each semester. If a course is waived, a substitute course must be identified.
