Master in Public Health (MPH) Pathway Program
Offered as a master's (M.S.)


If you’re interested in continuing your education after Saint Anselm in the field of public health you may be attracted to a partnership with Tuft’s University’s School of Medicine to earn a Master of Public Health (MPH). The Tufts – Saint Anselm College MPH Pathway Program is open to students of any major and you may apply as early as your sophomore year. 

Through the partnership, you can complete courses during your undergraduate Saint Anselm experience. You can enter the program with up to 12 credits completed which could help you to finish the MPH in as quickly as one year of graduating with your bachelor’s degree.

We are thrilled to collaborate with Tufts University’s MPH program to provide an opportunity for students to gain early entry into their program.
