Dual degree students enrolled in the M.P.H. program and a health professional degree program at Midwestern University may be awarded 12 credit hours towards the M.P.H. degree for approved courses taken in their professional programs. These courses are preapproved by the M.P.H. Education Committee with input from the respective health professional degree program Dean, and courses are identified in the course Catalog to indicate eligibility for elective credit in the M.P.H. program. Dual degree students enroll in the course designated for their primary professional degree program and are awarded credit for both programs upon successful completion of the course. Transcripts for the M.P.H. program reflect the transfer credit from the primary professional degree program. Dual credit in the M.P.H. program is only considered for coursework in which a satisfactory grade has been earned in the primary program.
