Degree Programs: MN/MPH Concurrent Degree

Application Deadlines

• School of Nursing: January 15th*
• School of Public Health and Community Medicine: January 15th

Overview

The MN/MPH concurrent degree program offers interdisciplinary preparation for baccalaureate-prepared RNs in the fields of public health and advanced nursing practice, leading to the Master of Public Health and Master of Nursing degrees. Public health and nursing share an interest in using community partnerships for a population-based preventive approach to health and social problems. Both fields recognize the influence of the social environment and human behavior on contemporary health problems.

The objective of the concurrent degree program is to prepare professionals who will function at the interface of both fields in practice, research, planning, administration, and policy development. Students will develop:

1. competence in advanced nursing practice in their selected focus area;


2. an understanding of the organization and functioning of the health care delivery system; and


3. the basic analytical skills necessary to do research and to perform competently in a variety of careers related to health services. Students will also have an opportunity for in-depth study of a particular issue related to a student's special interests and career goals.
