Accelerated BSPH–MS in Product Stewardship

The accelerated 4+1 BSPH – MS in Product Stewarship (MSPS) allows you to graduate with both Bachelor of Science in Public Health–Environmental Health Sciences and Master of Product Stewardship degrees in just five years.

This program is one year less than the traditional six-year path of obtaining a bachelor’s and master’s degree, saving time and money and giving you the specialized skills and experience needed to help businesses protect people and the environment through all stages of a product's life cycle.

This degree combines the foundations of health protection and injury prevention from the BSPH with the academic theory, research, and real-world experience of the MSPS degree. 

Plan of study

You will complete three years of bachelor’s degree requirements. During your third year, you will apply for the accelerated program. If accepted into the accelerated program, you will complete your first year of MSPS coursework during what would have been your fourth year of undergraduate study.

That MSPS coursework takes the place of your final BSPH required courses. You will then graduate with your bachelor’s degree the spring after your first year in the MSPS program.

When to apply

You are encouraged to apply during the fall or spring semesters of your junior year; however, the deadline for accelerated BSPH-MSPS applications is June 1. Accepted BSPH-MSPS accelerated students will matriculate into the MSPS program during the fall semester of your senior year.
