Application information

Entry requirements

Applicants must possess a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution to be considered for admission to the Maternal and Child Health Graduate Certificate (MCHGC) program. Application Requirements Online application and $50 application fee College transcripts Personal statement Resume (work experience is valuable but not required) The GRE is not a requirement for admission to the MCHGC program. While most students who apply to the MCHGC program are public health graduate students — specifically students completing the MPH degree due to the overlap in courses between the two programs — maternal and child health leaders come to the graduate certificate program from a variety of disciplinary areas, including but not limited to, pediatrics, nutrition, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, family and self-advocacy. Leaders from these areas and other allied public health professions who want to build upon their expertise to reach this population through the acquisition of maternal and child health specific knowledge and skills are encouraged to apply.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
