Full-time master's students may apply for research assistantships through funded research projects. Doctoral students are usually supported as research assistants during their doctoral research projects. Admission Applications are reviewed throughout the year. To insure admission priority and consideration for financial assistance students should submit applications before April 15. Minimum requirements include a baccalaureate degree emphasizing the biological sciences, a cumulative undergraduate GPA of not less than 3.0, and a minimum GRE score of not less than 1500.
Final admission is based on the applicant's total file and availability of space within the program.
Doctoral applicants are expected to substantially exceed the minimum requirements. Probationary Admission Applicants may be admitted to the MPH program on a probationary basis. Each application for probationary admission will be evaluated and considered individually. Part-time students will be required to take the same courses over a period of two semesters and maintain a GPA of 3.2. Students who successfully complete these requirements will be admitted to regular student status.
