The University of Virginia's School of Medicine's Department of Public Health Sciences, and the Batten School offer a dual degree program that leads to the completion of the MPH and MPP degrees in three years instead of the four years that would be required if each degree were pursued independently. The MPP-MPH program is particularly demanding, and unless the student is clearly able to see the applicability of both degrees to future career plans, he or she should not assume that the chance to squeeze one year from a normal five-year sequence is in itself a persuasive rationale for this undertaking. The program takes three years to complete. In brief, it consists of the complete first year program of each school followed by one year of courses taken from the curricula of the two schools and, in appropriate cases, from other graduate offerings at the University. A student who has been admitted to the program will ordinarily be allowed to elect whether to start in the Batten School or in the School of Medicine. The student will then spend the second year in the program as a regular first year student in the other school.
