MPH programs in NYC

Shopping for a MPH program in the city that’s part time, doesn’t require the GRE and has a strong reputation. Was looking into NYUs program but they require the GRE for their epidemiology concentration and Columbia only has a full time program. There’s also a debate I’m having about also getting a MHA but is it common for people to have both degrees ? Since I have a science background MPH with epidemiology is appealing but I feel like a MHA will be more profitable $$$. This for when I retire from my current job and I can start a second career or even do something on the side

Have you explored online degrees? Check out University at Albany's MPH program; it's strictly part-time.
