At minimum, applicants must have earned a bachelor’s degree in the health professions or related field from a regionally accredited institution. Applicants must be actively employed in a health-related field, either in a paid or volunteer position, that supports the completion of program requirements such as the master’s thesis, leadership practicum, or teaching practicum. Qualified applicants include individuals who hold a master's or doctoral degree in a health professions discipline or related field from a regionally accredited institution. Applicants holding doctoral degrees (e.g., MD, PhD) from foreign institutions will be eligible for admission. Applicants with bachelor’s or master’s degrees must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale. The GPA requirement is waived for applicants holding a doctoral degree. Applicants must submit a personal statement or letter of intent.
