Summer Program in Clinical Effectiveness 2023

Degree Applications

Degree Application Deadline: December 1, 2022

Students enrolled in HSPH MPH-Clinical Effectiveness and MS-Epidemiology Degree Programs can begin these programs by taking the Program in Clinical Effectiveness. This allows students to complete approximately one-third of the degree by the end of the summer, providing students the flexibility and opportunity to pursue research opportunities while completing the rest of the degree requirements. This may hold for other HSPH MPH/MS Degree Programs, but students in these programs should check with the administrators of these programs.
