<p>I am an undergrad student and am majoring in biology (physiology and neurobiology) and possible double majoring in sociology.</p>
<p>I was wondering whether i could get an MPH with such a background.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>First off, I am not qualified to answer this question.</p>
<p>Now that that’s out of the way, I googled “master of public health admission requirements” and I got some interesting results. The admission requirements seem to vary wildly. Some programs will consider anyone with a Bachelor’s degree. Some programs are asking for relevant work experience. Harvard asks for a doctoral degree in a health-related field or a Master’s degree in a health-related field with several years of work experience ([Who</a> Should Apply - MPH Program - Harvard School of Public Health](<a href=“Academic Departments, Divisions, and Centers | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health”>Academic Departments, Divisions, and Centers | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health)).</p>
<p>Check with each program but some schools of public health offer an MSPH degree program which is essentially like any other MS. Some also offer MPH which is a post doctoral degree (after your Phd, MD, DDS, DO, PharmD or whathaveyou.) Most people don’t start an M(S)PH program right out of college. A lot of people will work in research for a couple of years, or nursing. Some work in public health with just a bachelors before deciding to go back for a masters degree. You would find the best information directly from schools of public health, the best being UNC, Yale, Michigan, Berkeley, Hopkins.</p>
