The Milken Institute School of Public Health (Milken SPH) coordinates dual degree programs that include most bachelor of arts (BA) or bachelor of science (BS) majors in Milken SPH, GW School of Business, Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, Elliott School of International Affairs, and School of Engineering and Applied Science with the master of science (MS) in the field of public health microbiology and emerging infectious diseases (PHMEID). The 9 credits earned in the MS courses listed below can be shared between the two degrees, thereby decreasing the number of credits normally required for the MS. All requirements for both degrees, as well as those for any minor program in which the student also is enrolled, must be fulfilled.
