Master of Public Service/Master of Public Health Combined Degree Program

The MPS/MPH combined degree program affords the student opportunities to apply public health science to a broad range of issues that affect the health and wellness of individuals, communities and populations locally and globally. Students gain a theoretical and practical understanding of how public health and public service intersect at the application of evidence-based interventions to population-level issues. This unique combination of knowledge and skills allows our graduates to find employment in a wide variety of public service organizations and private businesses.

Students from the Clinton School of Public Service (CSPS) may pursue a combined MPS/MPH degree in conjunction with the Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health. CSPS students who wish to pursue the combined MPS/MPH degree must contact the CSPS to indicate their intent to pursue the combined degree. All application materials from the CSPS as well as official GRE Scores (optional), a personal statement on why the student wishes to pursue the combined degree and all transcripts must be sent directly to the Office of Student Affairs in the College of Public Health.  

Applicants must file a Declaration of Intent to Pursue a Combined Degree form with both colleges prior to starting their first semester in the MPH program. This form must be signed by both the CSPS and the Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health and on file in the UAMS Office of the University Registrar.

Students in the MPS/MPH program will follow the degree program planner for the MPH concentration in Climate, Rural and Global Public Health.
