Starting this fall, juniors at Vassar may begin the application process and take courses that will help lead to acceptance into the Columbia Mailman-Vassar partnership. Those accepted into the program (about five students in the first year) will spend the summer participating in a hands-on internship approved by Vassar and Columbia, and they will take classes at Columbia Mailman School in the first semester of their senior year.

After they graduate from Vassar, the students will spend the following year at Columbia Mailman completing course requirements for their master’s degree in public health. They will receive their degrees upon completion of their master’s thesis

this is great news!
