The occupational and environmental health faculty considers several factors when evaluating applications for admission, including grade-point averages, letters of recommendation, intent and motivation for graduate study, and research interests. Students with deficiencies in one area may be admitted if all other components of their application are very strong. MS applicants must hold a bachelor's degree and have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.00.
