Overview
Increase your career opportunities. Get a jumpstart on graduate school. Save time and tuition expenses.
This pathway provides academically talented undergraduate students the opportunity* to complete both degrees expeditiously.
- Count up to 12 graduate credit hours toward both your bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
- Apply for undergraduate financial aid opportunities for the undergraduate portion of graduate-level classes.**
- Explore graduate coursework as an undergraduate student and support the adjustment to graduate school.
* Admission into the Combined Pathway does not grant admission into the MPH program. Students must still apply to the MPH program by the appropriate deadlines.
Admission into the Combined Pathway forgoes any opportunity to apply or enroll in the Joint Pathway between Urban Regional Planning and Public Health. Any courses taken under the Combined Pathway are subject to approval for transfer to a program outside of the FSU MPH program.
**Please contact Student Business Services for further information about your financial opportunities being used
Any grade lower than a “B” will be ineligible to transfer for MPH credit.
