Abstract:

Cultivating interdisciplinary talents with theoretical foundation, knowledge and skill sets of both urban and rural planning and public health is the foundation of building healthy cities and a positive response to the national strategy of “Healthy China”. This paper first systematically analyzes dual-degree programs of urban planning and public health offered in 17 universities in the United States systematically from the aspects of teaching objectives, degrees and programs, teaching modes, research fields and curriculum system. Then, it illustrates three different dualdegree graduate training modes of inter-school, intra-school, and cross-university through cases. Finally, based on the experience of running dual degrees in the United States and the practices of Chinese universities, this paper proposes the concepts of interdisciplinary composite graduate education in urban and rural planning and public health in terms of interdisciplinary industry-university-research linkage, construction of interdisciplinary curriculum system based on knowledge units, setting up innovative selection mechanism and personalized cultivation program.
