Boston, Mass.
– Tufts
Medical School announced a new combined Juris Doctor and Master
of Public Health degree program. Tufts and Northeastern Law School
will partner to offer the combined degree, forging only the second
such partnership in the country.
The
program will allow students to earn both the law and public health
degrees in only three-and-a-half years, rather than the average
five years if the degrees were taken sequentially. John Harrington
the dean of Tufts School of Medicine believes this program will
“foster a direct involvement in the community and thereby enhance
the health of the public.”
