About the course

The J.D. & M.P.H. dual degree is offered by the College of Law and the School of Public Health.

　　Public health is an important field at all levels: local, state, national and global. Prevention and control of infectious disease, chronic disease and injury raise complex questions of law, policy and ethics. A multidisciplinary approach, bringing law and public health together, is needed to address critical issues such as vaccination mandates, concussion protocols, tobacco control, opioid use and obesity.

　　Students in this program learn about the complex, ever-changing legal and regulatory environment in which public health activities operate, the varied factors that impact the public’s health and the science supporting public health practice. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
