Seven departments within the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health offer early acceptance to certain master’s programs for JHU undergraduates. The Bachelor’s/Master’s programs lead to three types of degrees: a Master of Health Administration (MHA), a Master of Health Science (MHS) or a Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH).
Types of Bachelor’s/Master’s Degrees
- Bachelor’s/MHA Program. The program leading to an MHA offers students the opportunity to integrate focused academic training with real-world public health practice in healthcare organizations and systems.
- Bachelor’s/MHS Program. The Bachelor’s/Master’s programs leading to an MHS prepare students for further graduate work and/or prominent careers in research and science.
- Bachelor’s/MSPH Program. The Bachelor’s/Master’s program leading to an MSPH offers students the opportunity to integrate focused academic training with real-world public health practice.
