The recent establishment of a Masters in Public Health (MPH) program at the SUNY Health Sciences Center in Brooklyn presents an opportunity for professional program students and faculty at SUNY College of Optometry to earn the MPH degree. Professional program students and holders of the O.D. degree will be given credit toward the MPH that will reduce their total credit requirement for the program to 36 credits. The OAT will be used instead of GRE scores. Current SUNY Optometry students can complete both the O.D. and MPH concurrently during the course of the 4 year OD program.
It is estimated that the total tuition for the program will be approximately $9,000. Courses will be held at the SUNY Health Sciences Center in Brooklyn during the late afternoons or evenings to accommodate professional program students from this College and from the medical and nursing programs at Brooklyn.
For more information about the program, please see the SUNY Health Sciences Center in Brooklyn webpage.
