Separate applications will be processed through both college admission systems and the decision for joint degree admission will be coordinated by the admission directors for the JD and MPH programs only after the applicant has been accepted by both programs, and complies with application requirements of both the JD and CoPH. Admission into either program does not guarantee admission into the other program. If a student is not accepted into both programs during the joint degree application review, the student cannot complete the joint degree program. However, the student can attend the single program into which acceptance was granted. Students who have already graduated with a JD or MPH degree will not be eligible for the joint degree program. Students already enrolled in the JD degree program may apply for admission to the joint degree program provided the student is in good academic standing and has not completed more than 3 semesters as a full-time student in the COL. Students already enrolled in the MPH degree program in the CoPH may apply for admission to the joint degree program provided the student has a cumulative grade point average of at least a “B” and has not completed more than 18 hours of coursework toward the MPH degree. Upon admission into the joint degree program, the student will be assigned an advisor from both the COL and the CoPH to advise the student on course selection and degree requirements.
