Dual Degrees

As part of Columbia University, the Mailman School puts at your fingertips the extraordinary resources of a world-renowned institution within the dynamic environment of New York City. The School fosters a multidisciplinary approach to public health through dual degree masters programs, which are offered in conjunction with other graduate schools of the University. These dual degree programs provide Mailman School students with an opportunity to tap into the full resources of the University and to gain knowledge, skills, and perspectives in fields outside of public health.

Applicants seeking admission to dual degree studies must apply separately to each of the two collaborating schools and must meet the admissions requirements of each. Once both schools grant admission to their individual degree programs, the student may begin an integrated dual degree program. Students considering dual degree programs are strongly encouraged to apply to both schools as early as possible. Except where otherwise noted, students may apply to both schools at the same time or may apply to the second school after admission to the first school.

Programs Offered

The School currently offers nine dual degree programs with the following Columbia affiliates:

“I know first-hand the value of earning a dual-degree. With the increasing complexity of health and health care delivery, we need leaders who both understand the perspectives and approaches of related disciplines and can work effectively in a multidisciplinary environment to enhance the health of the public. The Mailman School, with its nine dual-degree programs in collaboration with Columbia’s other great Schools, including the College of Physicians and Surgeons, is at the forefront of producing such leaders.”
