Accepted applicants to Northeastern’s Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies program have the opportunity to pursue a joint degree, the PA/MPH, which is offered by the MS in Physician Assistant Studies program in conjunction with the Master of Public Health program. Enrolling in the PA/MPH program allows these students to earn two degrees in a shorter amount of time than it would to earn them separately, saving time and money while broadening one’s clinical toolkit to give it a population health-based perspective.
Students enrolled in the dual degree program take classes that meet the curriculum requirements for both an MS in Physician Assistant Studies and an MPH. The dual degree is structured to give students maximum flexibility while incorporating an urban health framework to complement their PA studies. PA/MPH students begin their program by taking the majority of their MPH coursework online from January to mid-August before coming to campus at the end of August to begin their PA coursework. During the two years of the PA program, they complete the remainder of their MPH coursework concurrently so that when they graduate, they are awarded their MPH at the same time as their MS in Physician Assistant Studies.
