A Fast Track to a Master’s Degree
Students enrolled in Kaplan University’s Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness can choose to complete the accelerated Master of Health Care Administration or Master of Public Health option. Designed for high-potential undergraduate students interested in earning both a bachelor’s and master’s degree, the accelerated option allows you to work toward your Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness while simultaneously completing up to five core courses in either the Master of Health Care Administration or the Master of Public Health. If you successfully complete these courses with a minimum course grade, and have applied and been accepted to the applicable Kaplan University master’s degree program, you will enter a shortened version of the master’s degree program.
