The School of Global Public Health (GPH) and the Gallatin School of Individualized Study offer three distinct 4+1 programs that allow students to earn both a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Gallatin’s Individualized Major and a Master’s degree from GPH in less time than it would take to complete the two programs separately. The 4+1 programs include a BA/MPH (Master of Public Health), BA/MS (Master of Science), or a BA/MA (Master of Arts) option.

These 4+1 accelerated programs are geared towards academically strong students with an interest in studying, developing, and implementing innovative and novel approaches to promoting and protecting the health of individuals and communities.

For students pursuing either the BA/MPH or BA/MS programs:

Up to 15 credits of GPH graduate coursework will be double counted towards the BA and the MPH/MS. (Note: Students can complete more than 15 credits of graduate coursework during their undergraduate years, if their schedules allow.)
Students will earn a total of 159 credits: 128 credits for the BA, plus an additional 31 credits for the MPH/MS. (A reminder: if these degrees were completed separately, the Gallatin BA requires 128 credits and the MPH/MS requires 46 credits, for a total of 174 credits taken over six years.)
