Before you begin our coordinated MPH/JD program, which is offered in conjunction with Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law, you must first complete one year of law school at Cumberland with a 2.5 GPA.

In addition, you can pursue opportunities to focus your training in healthcare organization, health behavior and program development, health policy, and many other areas of public health.
