Master of Health Education
International Students: We are currently accepting applications for academic year 2009-10.Entrance Procedure
The Program Director, Department Chair will review MHE applications. Admission standards and application procedures are presented in the graduate bulletin. The Program Director and the Chair will admit prospective students who satisfy the MHE program and the Graduate School admission requirements. Applicants who do not completely satisfy requirements are referred to the Health and Nutrition Sciences (HNS) Admissions Committee (the Chair, MHE director, and HNS graduate faculty) to determine admission or denial.
For classified admission into the program, applicants must satisfy the following criteria:
- Meet all requirements of the Graduate School.
- Submit all previous college transcripts and have an accumulative undergraduate grade point average of at least 3.0 in upper division courses. An applicant who currently holds a graduate degree must submit their transcripts, but the undergraduate GPA requirement will not apply.
- Meet one of the following GPA and GRE criteria (NOTE: GPA calculation based on the last 60 hours of undergraduate work):
- If GPA is 3.5 or higher, then NO GRE is required
- If GPA is 3.0 - 3.499, then a score in the 40th percentile on at least one area of the GRE is required
- If GPA is 2.5 - 2.999, then a combined (verbal/quantitative) GRE minimum score of 1000 is required
- Submit two letters of recommendation from individuals (non-relatives) who are familiar with their abilities. The letters should be sent to the Department of Health and Nutrition Sciences at the same time the application is sent to the Graduate School.
- Applicants must submit a typed essay (one to two pages, single spaced) describing their interest in pursuing the MHE degree and their vision of how it will facilitate their career goals.
- Applicants currently holding degrees at the doctoral level from an accredited institution will not be required to submit GRE general test scores, except for applicants who have a professional doctoral degree (e.g., PharmD and Juris Doctorate). Those holding degrees at the baccalaureate and masters level must submit GRE general test results to the Graduate School.
NOTE: Financial aid is not available to students admitted with a conditional status.
