Campbell Law, College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences Unveil Dual Degree Program

Campbell University Schools Join Forces to Offer Juris Doctor And Master Of Science In Public Health Degree Program Effective Fall 2012.

Raleigh, NC, July 11, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Campbell Law School (http://law.campbell.edu), and Campbell University’s College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences (http://www.campbell.edu/cphs/) have announced the establishment of a new dual degree program to obtain a Juris Doctor and a Master of Science in Public Health. The four-year program, which will begin with the fall 2012 semester, allows students to pursue and obtain the JD at Campbell Law, as well as a MSPH from the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences.

The JD/MSPH program provides students with a unique interdisciplinary perspective of law and public policy. Graduates will enter the workplace prepared to represent clients, health organizations or systems, and to serve in leadership roles in health policy at the national, state, county and local levels. Prospective students are required to gain admission to both programs in order to pursue the dual degree.

Campbell Law offers five dual degree programs– three with Campbell University and two with NC State University – in an effort to provide students with maximum exposure and preparedness for a wide assortment of career opportunities in the industries that continue to shape the economy. In addition to the JD/MSPH, Campbell Law also offers a Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration program with both NC State University’s Jenkins Graduate School at the Poole College of Management and Campbell’s Lundy-Fetterman School of Business, as well as a Juris Doctor/Master of Public Administration with NC State’s School of Public & International Affairs, and a Juris Doctor/Master of Trust & Wealth Management with Campbell’s Lundy-Fetterman School of Business.

Quotes:
“We are excited to announce our partnership with Campbell University’s College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences,” said Campbell Law Interim Dean Keith Faulkner. “The JD/MSPH is a powerful degree that will provide our students with an understanding of the intersections between law, health policy, and public health. JD/MSPH students will study topics including community health, health system reform, and policy research. This program will be a great compliment for those students seeking a traditional legal job in health law and will provide an alternative career path for those seeking careers in the health care policy and non-profit arenas.”

“This specialized focus will give law students an in-depth perspective on health care and prepare them for advanced careers in health law and policy throughout North Carolina and beyond,” said Campbell University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences Dean Ron Maddox, PharmD.
