prevention and health promotion. Focused on cancer
prevention and detection, the American Cancer Society is

time required to obtain the two degrees are reduced by
eliminating duplication. The program can be
completed in six or seven semesters of full-time study,
depending on the number and availability of classes each
semester. Part-time enrollment is available to those who
wish to pursue the degree while working. Graduates
