Overview

Students must complete courses addressing the MPH core knowledge requirements, one research methods course, one course on health care budgeting and management and the Applied Practice Experience (APE) and the Integrative Learning Experience (ILE).

The APE and ILE require students to synthesize knowledge acquired in coursework and apply it to a public health project of their own design along with a capstone project.

Students enrolled in the Law and Public Health program at Tufts University can choose from two concentrations, Health Management & Policy or Individualized.

The JD/MPH dual degree programs also accept applications during a student’s first or second year of law school and from students transferring to the law school. Admission into law school or Tufts MPH does not guarantee admission into the other program.

Career Opportunities with a JD/MPH

Students graduating from the dual degree program take jobs in government, health care organizations, health care advocacy centers, private law practices, state departments of public health, and a whole host of organizations which value their public health skills in additional to their legal training.
