Health Science (M.S.)

Admission Requirements

Admission to the master’s program in Health Science may be secured in two ways:

1. The master’s program requires an undergraduate degree in a health science field (e.g., nursing, health education, psychology, etc.) or substantial upper-division course work in those fields, or experience in those same areas (as determined by the program director). In addition, applicants must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.00 to be admitted to the master’s program; conditional admission may be granted to students whose GPA is at least 2.75. All GPA calculations for admission are based upon the last 60 credits of undergraduate and post-baccalaureate study.
2. Also eligible for conditional admission are individuals without the stipulated educational or experiential foundation. To qualify for this category of conditional admission, candidates must provide the program director with a personal statement (no more than 500 words) that establishes why they seek admission to the master’s program and how they see themselves using the degree; have at least three years documented work experience; and maintain a minimum GPA of at least 2.75. All GPA calculations for admission are based upon the last 60 credits of undergraduate and post-baccalaureate study.
