MASTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH (BA OR BS/MPH) - IDAHO STATE UNIVERSITY

The Master of Public Health Cooperative Program is a collaborative effort with Idaho State University (ISU). Students will complete all of the requirements for a BA or BS degree at The College of Idaho, including the prerequisites for entrance into the Idaho State University Master of Public Health program. Students who complete The College of Idaho portion of this program will receive a BA or BS degree in the major they have completed. Upon completing the Idaho State University portion of the program, students will earn a Master of Public Health from Idaho State University.

Entrance into the Idaho State University program is competitive. Idaho State University has offered at least two admission seats to College of Idaho students each year. However, more than two College of Idaho students may apply. Applicants must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in all prerequisite courses and all upper-division courses and must apply for the Idaho State University program by January of their senior year. Students must meet minimum standards on the GRE and meet the Idaho State University MPH program's entrance standards.

The College of Idaho offers 26 majors and 58 minors in the fine arts and humanities, natural sciences and mathematics, social sciences and history, and professional fields. Students earn a major and three minors in four years across the four academic peaks through our innovative PEAK curriculum. This empowers students to pursue their passions while developing the breadth and depth of knowledge necessary for lifelong success.

The First-Year Experience creates a sense of community and prepares students for lifelong learning. It includes a community-building retreat in McCall, a first-year theme and book, first-year seminars, and first-year living communities and mentors.

Numerous off-campus and study abroad programs are available, including regular trips to London, Paris, China, Australia, and Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains.
