 Return to: Degrees and Majors
Program Overview
The BA in Health, Society, and Policy (HESP) to the MS in Epidemiology will provide qualified students interested in health policy, health care, and epidemiology an accelerated route to earn both the BA degree and the MS degree within five years. Having an accelerated route will help AU retain top performing students for an additional year while providing those students with a pipeline to future employment in health care and epidemiology.
The BA in HESP degree is a 124 credit hour undergraduate program. The MS in Epidemiology degree is a 36 credit hour graduate program, which is delivered completely online. Qualified students (see below for the program’s requirements) will take four courses in the MS in Epidemiology program (12 credit hours) during their senior year as an undergraduate in the BA in HESP program. Three of the four courses will double count toward the BA and MS degrees. If students successfully complete their undergraduate courses and earn a B or higher in the MS in Epidemiology courses, then they will graduate with the BA in HESP and automatically transition into the MS in Epidemiology program. While finishing the BA in HESP program, tuition and fees will be at the undergraduate level.
