*Housed in the SPH Division of Community Health and Human Development

The UC Berkeley School of Public Health offers both professional and academic degrees at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels. The professional degrees (MPH and DrPH) are administered by the School of Public Health. The academic degrees (MA, MS, and PhD) are administered by the Graduate Division through groups of faculty from the School of Public Health, related departments/schools on campus, and, occasionally, other University of California campuses. The Bachelor of Arts Degree is offered through the UC Berkeley College of Letters and Science. The following outlines the degrees offered within each SPH Division, degree programs that are schoolwide, and other degree options:

 Division of Biostatistics

o The Division of Biostatistics MPH is a 2-year program consisting of 48 units with courses selected from biostatistics and statistics, public health, and biology. The MPH program in biostatistics prepares students to become proficient in 1) storage, retrieval, analysis and interpretation of health data; 2) design and analysis of health-related surveys and experiments; and 3) concepts and practice of statistical data analysis.

o The Divisions of Biostatistics and Epidemiology offer a two-year program in Epidemiology/Biostatistics that leads to an MPH degree with an emphasis on the development of combined skills in biostatistics and epidemiology. The combined degree, in place within SPH for over twenty years, was developed to provide students without public health professional backgrounds an opportunity to be exposed to both disciplines.

o In addition to the MPH degree, the Division of Biostatistics through the

Interdepartmental Group in Biostatistics offers two academic degrees, the MA and PhD.

In conjunction with other departments at UC Berkeley, the Group in Biostatistics also offers an option of a Designated Emphasis in Computational and Genomic Biology and an option of a Designated Emphasis in Computational Science and Engineering.

 Division of Community Health and Human Development (CHHD) – CHHD is the home for four areas of concentration:

 Health and Social Behavior offers a two-year MPH degree.

 Maternal and Child Health (MCH) program offers an accelerated 11-month MPH degree, a two-year MPH degree, and a specialty area (or minor). MCH masters and doctoral students may add a specialty area in Aging, International Health, or Multicultural Health, each of which requires nine units of course work. A minor is offered to students enrolled in other SPH two-year MPH or doctoral programs.

 Public Health Nutrition offers a two-year MPH degree.

 UCB-UCSF Joint Medical Program is a five-year MS/MD degree program.

Students spend the first three years on the UC Berkeley campus completing the basic sciences curriculum required for MD licensure and a Master of Science degree. The MS degree is offered in Health and Medical Sciences.

 Division of Environmental Health Sciences

o Environmental Health Sciences offers an accelerated 11-month MPH program for applicants who hold a PhD or doctoral level clinical degree and have completed undergraduate and graduate work in calculus, chemistry, and biology.

o Environmental Health Sciences offers a two-year graduate program for the professional MPH degree.

o EHS offers two academic degrees – the MS and the PhD.

o The Health, Environment, and Development Program offers the MS Global Health and Environment degree that involves a cross-campus curriculum.

 Division of Epidemiology

o Epidemiology offers an accelerated 11-month MPH program which is generally limited to students with a prior doctoral degree or concurrently enrolled in a doctoral degree program (e.g. MD, PhD, DDS, DVM, etc.).

o A two-year MPH degree is offered in collaboration with Biostatistics – the Epidemiology/Biostatistics MPH, as noted above.

o Epidemiology offers two academic degrees – the MS and PhD.

 Division of Health Policy and Management –

o Health Policy and Management offers an accelerated 11-month MPH for medical students and physicians.

o Health Policy and Management offers a two-year MPH.

o HPM administers a campuswide Health Services and Policy Analysis Doctoral Program in which students receive a PhD degree.

 Division of Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology –

o The program offers a professional two-year MPH degree in Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology.

o Through the graduate program in Infectious Diseases and Immunity an academic doctoral degree (PhD) is offered. (A terminal MS degree may be considered if the candidate is unable to complete the PhD after entering the program.)

 Schoolwide Degrees –

o Bachelor of Art in Public Health – In 2005, SPH began offering an undergraduate academic degree (BA). The degree is administered through the UC Berkeley College of Letters and Science.

o Interdisciplinary MPH – SPH offers an accelerated, 11-month MPH degree for a limited number of professionals with at least a master degree or its equivalent and significant health care or public health experience.

o Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) – SPH offers a professional DrPH with a focus on the development of knowledge and skills in the areas of professional leadership and

administration, and the application of existing, state-of-the-art knowledge and approaches to public health problems.

o On-Campus/Online MPH – SPH developed the first UC Berkeley online degree program.

The on-campus/online program offers the same quality and rigor as the School of Public Health’s on-campus MPH programs. The program is designed for mid-career

professionals in Public Health. Students with two-year’s experience are also admitted.

Concurrent, Dual, and Joint Degrees

 Concurrent – An integrated curriculum, officially approved by the Graduate Council, leads to two master degrees on the Berkeley campus. Students are simultaneously admitted to both schools/departments and have the possibility of a limited number of shared units. The

following concurrent degrees are offered:

o Haas School of Business - MBA/MPH

o Goldman School of Public Policy - MPP/MPH

o College of Environmental Design/Department of City and Regional Planning – MCP/MPH

o School of Social Welfare - MSW/MPH

o Graduate School of Journalism/Public Health (MJ/MPH)

 Dual – An individual student already enrolled in any school/department has the opportunity to petition to add a second degree in a different school/department. There is no possibility of shared units.

o School of Journalism - MJ/MPH

o School of Social Welfare – MSW/MPH

 Joint – An intercampus degree program offered at the doctoral level only.

o UC San Francisco – A limited number of UCSF medical students are admitted to MD/MPH programs within the School of Public Health through two programs: 1) the Residency in General Preventive Medicine and Public Health, and 2) the Occupational and Environmental Residency Program.

o Stanford University – The School of Medicine and SPH have an intercampus degree program that offers MD students an opportunity to obtain their MPH during their course of study.
