One Year vs. Two Year

[DrMichelle]

I was wondering what the difference is (besides the obvious) on one year programs and two year MPH programs.

Also, the only 1 year program that I have found is Dartmouth, what else is out there?

Thanks guys!

Hopkins is 1 year, Harvard is 9 months. There are a lot of one-year MPH programs offered.

UF (gainesville) has an accelerated program for its mph's, but you need to have a doctorate degree already.

Dartmouth
Tulane
Hopkins
Harvard
Loma Linda
there's one in texas but i dont remember exactly which one.
Pitts you can do it in 1 1/2

the thing is that most of one year programs will ask for you to have a doctorate degree, not all but most.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the Hopkins and Harvard MPH programs designed for people who have already graduated from medical school or who have several years of work experience in the health care environment (like nurses)? I don't think they will take people who are straight out of undergrad. I think they are geared towards med students, doctors, and health professionals.

That's the case for Harvard, and possibly for Hopkins as well.

The original poster didn't state that she was doing this straight out of college. In fact, I would assume she already is a physician since her name is "DrMichelle."
