Arizona State University
The ASU-CGU 4+1 Master of Public Health (MPH) program is graduate pathway that allows ASU students to begin taking graduate-level courses and earning graduate credit as early as their sophomore year. These credits can be applied toward a master’s degree, which is awarded only after the bachelor’s degree is completed.
Please note: Students cannot graduate with both a bachelor’s and master’s degree at the same time. This pathway is designed to jumpstart the master’s degree—not complete it while enrolled at an undergraduate institution.
Eligible ASU Undergraduate Degrees
- Health Sciences, BS – College of Health Solutions
- Global Health, BA – The College
- Public Service and Public Policy, BS – Watts College
- International Public Health, BIPH – College of Health Solutions
