Cooperative Program in Public Health
The College of Idaho Cooperative Program in Public Health is an undergraduate-graduate articulation agreement with Idaho State University (ISU). Students will complete all of the requirements for a BA or BS degree at C of I, including all of the Liberal Arts Core, a major, and the prerequisites for entrance into the ISU Master of Public Health program. Students who complete the C of I portion of this program will receive a BA or BS degree in the major they have completed. Upon completion of the ISU portion of the program, students will earn a Master of Public Health from ISU.
Entrance into the ISU program is competitive. ISU has offered at least two admission seats to C of I students each year, but it is possible that more than two C of I students will apply. Applicants must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in all prerequisite courses and in all upper-division courses, and must apply for the ISU program by January of their senior year. Students must also take the GRE exam and meet the entrance standards for the ISU MPH program. For a complete description of the ISU program and detailed requirements for admission, see their web site.
