Public Health BS/MPH with Prehealth Prerequisites

The Public Health combined BS/MPH is excellent preparation for medical, dental, chiropractic, and other health-related disciplines. 

To help students better understand their options, we have created an optimized academic path for students to follow. This path was created in conjunction with UB Prehealth Advising. We highly recommend consultations with both the Prehealth Advising office and the office of Academic and Student Affairs to ensure the most accurate advisement. 

Suggested Academic Plan

This is a suggested plan. Other variations may be possible. Additionally, this plan does not include calculus. Please check with a prehealth advisor to determine if calculus is needed and where you may best fit it into your schedule.
