there is no dual program of mph and dds at nyu. Even if it did exist I dont think you would want to go for it, cos 2 nd year at nyu is so hectic that youll have to work ur ass off to get thru.😀

Hey rubberdam,

You have completely wrong opinion about NYU. I accept that second year at NYU is difficult, but u will enjoy doing that work. A couple of months back I was also thinking like that, but now I changed my mind. There is a dual degree program starting at NYU from this year. This is the mail I got about the dual degree program

NYU has introduced a new dual degree program that enables students to
earn both a dental degree (DDS) and a Master of Public Health degree
(MPH) in Global Public Health in five years, rather than in the
customary six.

Faculty from the College of Dentistry teach courses on regional and
national differences in oral health delivery, policy, disease
prevention
and health promotion; social and cultural factors influencing health
behavior; and oral public health research. Core courses designed to
prepare graduates to understand the contribution of specialists from
other fields to international public health are taught by faculty from
throughout the University, including the College of Nursing, the School
of Medicine, School of Social Work, Steinhardt School of Education, and
Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. There are also opportunities
to take elective courses in any of the University’s schools subject to
the approval of the student’s advisor.

Students fulfill their DDS didactic requirements in the program’s first
and second years. Adjustments are then made to the standard DDS
clinical
training schedule to enable them to balance MPH degree coursework with
clinical instruction in the third through fifth years. Fifth-year
students also undertake an overseas public health assignment, such as
designing an oral cancer prevention program for a rural community in a
developing country.

Applicants must be accepted separately by the MPH programs. DDS
students have the option of waiting until the first semester of their
second year to apply to the MPH program.

Hi,

I am in D2 at nyu and thats true they are starting the program this year but it seems kind of difficult with all the stress we all have right now..since there are so many exams and labs going on all at the same time and all needs to be done on time.
