Dual Degree: Master of Science in Bioethics and Master of Public Health

Prepare for a leadership role in bioethics and public health.  Columbia University’s Master of Science in Bioethics and Master of Public Health Dual-Degree Program prepares professionals to take leadership roles:

• as public health professionals who can develop, deliver, and evaluate public health services grounded in a strong foundational knowledge in bioethics and 
• as bioethicists who have a thorough understanding of issues that affect health at public and individual levels.

How Does it Work?

1. Obtain M.P.H. admission and M.S. admission separately.
2. Complete M.P.H. coursework full-time at Columbia Mailman during your first year. Once coursework at Columbia Mailman is complete, six MPH credits will count toward your M.S. in Bioethics.
3. Complete all M.S. coursework at SPS—full-time or part-time, online or face-to-face.
