Entrance Requirements
A baccalaureate degree from an accredited
school is the minimum requirement for admission to the MPH degree program.
The admission process is highly competitive. Although exceptions may be
made, admitted students typically have a combined undergraduate/graduate
grade point average of 4.00 (A = 5.0) and a combined Graduate Record Examination
score of at least 1,000 (verbal plus quantitative). Applicants educated
primarily outside of a country where English is the principal language must
submit TOEFL scores.
All MPH applicants must submit GRE scores, EXCEPT:
- MPH applicants with a graduate or professional degree at the doctoral
level, e.g., PhD, ScD, MD, DDS, DO, DVM, JD, from an accredited U.S. or
Canadian school.
- MPH applicants with the above-stated degrees from foreign schools
whose applications are sponsored by an accepted referral service, such
as AFGRAD, AMIDEAST.
- Physicians who are licensed to practice in the United States.
NOTE: The
USMLE and ECFMG will not be considered in lieu of the GRE.
In exceptional cases, the Division director
may waive the GRE requirement. If you wish to be considered for such a waiver,
state in a cover letter the basis for your request. You must submit your
application in sufficient time to take the GRE and have the scores sent
to the School by the application deadline, in the event that your request
is denied.
