At the time of Capstone Project/Research Paper approval, the student’s faculty advisor and/or
Campus/Program Director should review the student’s overall progress and readiness to
graduate.
Student progress is monitored by Academic Advisors, Concentration Directors, Program
Directors, and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs for determination of high academic
achievement as well as for concerns related to academic probation.
Students may request to change advisors by contacting their Concentration Director and ensuring that
their department administrator is notified of the change.
Dual Concentrations
With approval of the relevant Concentration/Campus Directors, students can pursue a dual
concentration option. This requires the student to complete the required hours in both concentrations,
as well as 6 credits of additional electives – resulting in a minimum of 51 credits. Students are required
to have a faculty advisor in each concentration.
Students completing the global health plus program with dual concentrations will require a total of 54
credits to graduate.
If the student’s GPA (cumulative, or calculated for either concentration individually) falls below 3.00,
the student will be required to choose a single concentration with which to move forward, and to drop
their second concentration. If the student drops one of the concentrations, he/she may continue with a
single concentration but must meet all requirements for that concentration.
Transfer of Concentration
Students can request a change in concentration/focus area (without a change in home campus) at any
time during their MPH program. However, this is subject to the approval of both
Concentration/Program Directors involved and the Office of Admissions & Student Affairs.
Please note that if a student changes his/her concentration, it is expected that they meet both the 24
credit home campus requirement (see section below) and concentration credit requirements. Students
should carefully consider any changes to their campus or concentrations after the first year of study, as
later changes may necessitate a student taking more than the required 42 credits.

Minimum 24 Credit Hour Home Campus Requirement
MPH students designate a home campus at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, Colorado State
University, or the University of Northern Colorado. Students must take a minimum of 24 credits of the
required 42 credits from courses offered by their home campus. Online/Hybrid courses are counted as
credits taken at the campus where the course originates, with the exception of PUBH 6600, which
can be counted as credit toward either the UNC or CU Anschutz home campuses.
If a student changes his/her home campus during the course of the MPH program, the student must
complete a minimum of 18 credits at his or her newly designated home campus. Exceptions to this
