UMass Amherst
The School of Public Health and Health Sciences in conjunction with the graduate Epidemiology Program offers an accelerated master's degree program to eligible undergraduates. The program is rigorous and demanding and is designed to offer high achieving undergraduate students a quick path to a graduate degree. Students in the accelerated master's program are required to complete coursework toward a graduate degree during their last year of undergraduate studies, and complete remaining requirements during their final year of graduate study. Students in the accelerated program in epidemiology have the option of pursuing an MPH (with either MPH Exit Exam or MPH Project as a culminating experience) or an MS degree (with MS thesis as culminating experience).
