b THE SELF-STUDY DOCUMENT SHOULD INCLUDE A LIST AND DESCRIPTION OF HOW EACH JOINT DEGREE PROGRAM DIFFERS FROM THE

STANDARD DEGREE PROGRAM. THE SCHOOL MUST EXPLAIN THE RATIONALE FOR ANY CREDIT SHARING OR SUBSTITUTION AS WELL AS THE PROCESS FOR VALIDATING THAT THE JOINT DEGREE CURRICULUM IS EQUIVALENT.

At the University of California, Berkeley, three types of combined degree programs are recognized. The School of Public Health offers seven options for combined degree programs:

five concurrent and two dual. Both concurrent and dual degree programs require that students complete SPH core knowledge breadth courses as outlined in Table 2.3.1, and an approved public health practice experience.

Concurrent Degree Programs – an integrated curriculum, officially approved by the Graduate Council, which leads to two masters degrees on the Berkeley campus. Students are

simultaneously admitted to both schools/departments and complete the requirements for both

degrees. Please see Template 4.3.2 Student Enrollment Data from 2011/12 – 2013/14 for information regarding the number of students in each of the following concurrent degree programs.

Health Management, MBA/MPH - Initiated in Fall, 1982, the Health Services Management Program is designed to provide an overall proficiency in the management of larger and more complex health delivery organizations such as hospitals, multi-corporate systems, and health maintenance organizations. Students come to the program with an average of five years of health-related work experience and have made a substantial commitment to the industry.

Graduates of this program are prepared for leadership roles in both business and delivery aspects of health and technology industries. In a two-and-a-half year period, students take virtually all of the MBA core courses in the School of Business and a complete MPH curriculum in the School of Public Health.

Health and Public Policy, MPP/MPH - Approved during Academic Year 1985-86, the three-year concurrent MPP/MPH is offered by the Goldman School of Public Policy and the School of Public Health. Applicants apply to the MPP/MPH degree track in the School of Public Health and indicate Health Policy & Management as their area of study. A supplementary questionnaire is required for the MPP/MPH degree choice. Preference is given to applicants who have work experience in health policy and who demonstrate an understanding of public policy and policy analysis techniques. Graduates assume research and policy analysis positions in federal and state governmental agencies, consulting organizations, health advocacy groups, and health care associations. This program recognizes that health policy analysts and health policy makers require knowledge of the principles and techniques of policy analysis, as well as an in-depth understanding of the health sector and its policy processes.

The three-year concurrent degree program is designed to permit students the maximum amount of flexibility while fulfilling the requirements for both degrees. Students will be enrolled in the Community Health and Human Development Division with a concentration in Maternal and Child Health, or Health and Social Behavior in the School of Public Health and with the concentration in Direct Practice in Health or Management and Planning in the School of Social Welfare. All applications for this program will be directed to the Concurrent Degree Committee. Admissions will be made in consultation with the admissions officers of each school and will be consistent with the

admissions requirements for each school.

Public Health and City and Regional Planning, MCP/MPH - This, the oldest of the concurrent degree programs dating back to 1972, is for students who want to serve as liaisons between the public health and community planning functions of local government. Students are expected to demonstrate strengths in policy analysis and strategic planning, with particular emphasis on the use of knowledge of health service delivery systems and public policy to solve problems of health care delivery in complex urban environments. Students complete the core curriculum of their School of Public Health area of concentration and the core curriculum for City and

Regional Planning, after which they may specialize in areas such as environmental health, economic and regional planning, or human services. Both degrees are normally earned in a three-year period.

The program is designed to produce public health professionals who are effective media practitioners and communicators as well as journalists with the training and knowledge necessary to cover public health and medical issues for online, print, broadcast and other media platforms. Students select one of four public health concentrations (environmental health, epidemiology/biostatistics, health and social behavior, infectious diseases) and simultaneously develop their reporting and multimedia skills.

The program explores how public health and journalism intersect and impact each other and prepares graduates for work in a variety of public health, media, and journalism settings.

Dual Degree Programs – an individual student already enrolled in one school or department has the opportunity to petition to add a second degree in a different school or department. Students who enroll as a dual degree MPH student must complete the core curriculum in their area of concentration and have no possibility of shared units. Although these dual degree options are available, no students have applied to either dual degree program during the last three years. The dual degree options are:

 MSW/MPH – School of Public Health and the School of Social Welfare

 MJ/MPH – the School of Public Health and the School of Journalism

Joint Degree Programs – the School of Public Health participates with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Stanford in offering intercampus degree programs at the doctoral level only.

MD/MPH with UCSF - The MD/MPH program provides an opportunity for UCSF medical students to obtain a master’s degree in public health (MPH) at UC Berkeley during an additional 11 months of study, usually between the third and fourth years of medical school. Some students obtain their MPH between the end of medical school and the beginning of residency. The

program begins in July and ends in May of the following year and is an intensive, full-time 42 unit course of study. Only currently registered UCSF medical students may apply.

MD/MPH with Stanford – This MD/MPH program is open to current Stanford University medical students who are enrolled in the Scholarly Concentration in Community Health. This program is designed to train medical students to be effective physician scholars and public health leaders. Most students enter into the program after their second year of medical school. Qualified applicants choose one of the 11-month Epidemiology, Interdisciplinary, or Maternal & Child Health programs at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. The 11-month program is

designed to train health professionals with experience in health services and is an intensive, full-time 42 unit course of study running from July to May (11 months).

Occupational & Environmental Medicine Residency with UCSF - UCSF administers a residency program in occupational medicine. Applicants must also apply to the Environmental Health Sciences area of concentration at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. The program

typically entails two years of training. In the first year, fellows obtain a master’s in Public Health (MPH) at UC Berkeley, receiving training in occupational and environmental epidemiology, public policy, environmental health sciences, health behavior, health education, biostatistics, ergonomics, industrial hygiene, and toxicology. The second year focuses on supervised practical training and involves training time in clinics; local, state, federal or international governmental agencies; non-governmental organizations; academic, consulting, and industry settings.

Preventive Medicine Residency with UCSF - The UC San Francisco School of Medicine offers a residency program in public health and general preventive medicine which includes a year of study leading to the MPH degree at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. This program is open to physicians who have graduated from an accredited medical school in the United States or Canada (or who are certified by the Educational Council for Foreign Medical Graduates).

Participants must have completed at least one year of approved clinical internship or residency experience and be licensed to practice medicine in the United States or Canada, and must be U.S.

or Canadian citizens or permanent residents. The program provides the academic (MPH) year and the year of supervised field training (practicum year) in preventive medicine and public health required by the American Board of Preventive Medicine.
