University of California at Berkeley
Department of City & Regional Planning
University Faculty with Public Health Specializations
Joint Degree in Planning and Public Health
Master of City Planning and Master of Public Health
The concurrent degree program with the UC Berkeley School of Public Health program meets the demand for health planners looking to broaden their skills, expertise, and areas of interest. Each program normally takes two years to complete, but through the concurrent degree program, time-to-degrees can be reduced to as little as three years (as experience and coursework overlap between the two departments). Such decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. At the conclusion of their studies, students receive both the M.C.P. and Master of Public Health degrees.
