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.

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

Statement of Purpose prompts

Public health is an exciting and diverse field that is interprofessional and multidisciplinary.

Please discuss how public health and the specific option you selected align with your academic interests and long-term career goals.

Highlight the strengths, academic preparation (e.g., quantitative, analytical or critical thinking skills), and experiences you will bring to the MPH program and the field of public health.

Collaboration, relationship-building, and conflict resolution are key characteristics needed to succeed in the public health field.

Many graduate-level public health courses include opportunities to practice collaborative and team-building skills.

Describe the academic, community-engaged, professional, or lived experiences that have prepared you to succeed within graduate-level public health coursework that applies team-based learning.

In your response, include how you approach problem-solving and collaborative decision-making, and share specific examples of how you contribute to creating a positive and effective learning environment.
