Concurrent Degree Programs
A concurrent degree program with the School of Public Health is available to students interested in pursuing M.A. and M.Ph. degrees concurrently. Applicants are required to satisfy the admissions requirements of both programs and students must meet the requirements in both programs to be awarded the degree.
Applications will be reviewed separately, as each department has its own admission requirements and conducts an independent evaluation. If the deadlines differ, applicants must submit their application on or before the earlier deadline.
The M.A. in African Studies/M.Ph. program allows students to use a maximum of 8 quarter units of African Studies course work to be applied toward both the M.A. degree in African Studies and the M.Ph. degree through a pro forma petition to the Graduate Division.
Applicants interested in this concurrent program should contact the African Studies program and the Office of Student Services at UCLA Fielding:
