Save money and time by starting your graduate studies now.

In the Accelerated Master’s Platform (AMP), you can take graduate classes in public health, apply those credits to undergrad requirements, and also transfer them to the MPH in environmental and occupational health graduate program.

Up to 22 graduate credits will count toward a bachelor’s degree and transfer to the MPH.

EOH minor students are excellent candidates for this AMP but any Oregon State undergraduate that meets the academic requirements can apply to this opportunity.

Participating programs

Aimee Miller, MPH

"The accelerated MPH has been an amazing experience. It not only allowed me to graduate with my MPH one year after I completed my undergraduate degree, but I was also exposed to graduate-level courses as a senior.

Having the opportunity to be in class with graduate students pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to think more critically about the material we were learning."

Aimee Miller, MPH ’19
