Program Overview
Emory College and Rollins jointly offer a five-year bachelor of arts (BA) and master of science in public health (MSPH) degree program. Through this program, students can complete a BA/BS degree at Emory College (most likely with a major concentration in Mathematics and Computer Sciences) and a MSPH in biostatistics at Rollins in five years.
Curriculum
BA/BS-MSPH Curriculum
The program does not affect requirements for a major concentration, including Emory College general education and writing requirements. Students will complete the required number of credit hours to graduate with a BA/BS degree at the end of four years.
While students may enroll in additional Rollins courses while enrolled in an Emory College BA/BS program, no more than 12 credit hours of Rollins coursework may count towards the undergraduate degree, including undergraduate elective requirements.
Students complete 48 credit hours of coursework at Rollins, including core public health courses, foundational and advanced biostatistics, an applied practice experience, and an integrative learning experience.
Admissions
Admissions Requirements
Emory College students can apply and may be admitted to the program during their second or third year. Applicants to this program will be selected on the basis of performance and promise as Emory undergraduates. The Department of Biostatistics will review student applications (and may choose to interview them as part of the process).
To apply, please complete the “BIOS 4+1 Program in Biostatistics Application” and email Melissa Sherrer, senior associate director of academic programs, at msherre@emory.edu.
Additional Requirements
To enroll in this program, students must have completed the following undergraduate courses:
- MATH 211: Multivariable Calculus or MATH 210: Advanced Calculus for Data Sciences
- MATH 221: Linear Algebra
Some background and experience in the health sciences is preferable but not required. Students should be in good academic standing at the time of admission.
