Public Policy and Global Health Leadership

Wagner's MPA MPH dual-degree program with NYU's Master of Public Health Program in Global Health Leadership combines public service and public health in a global focus. The dual degree curriculum prepares students for leadership roles in community healthcare settings, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations United States and across the world.

Students in the program enroll full-time, taking courses within the MPA and MPH program concurrently and completing the dual-degree program in three years. Students chose a specialization area within NYU Wagner's Public and Nonprofit Management and Policy program, or the Health Policy and Management program, and concentrate in Global Health Leadership within the MPH curriculum.
