Master of Science in Health Education

Admission Requirements

Application for admission to the Master of Science in Health Education Programs in the Department of Health Professions and Family Studies is made to the Graduate Admissions Office. Admission decisions are based on a comprehensive review of the following:

1. Completed application form.
2. Interview with the program director.
3. Transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended with a minimum 2.75 grade point average. Upon the recommendation of the Program Director, students with a grade point average lower than 2.75 may be admitted by meeting one or more of the following criteria:
   1. Complete 12 probationary graduate credits maintaining a minimum of 3.0 grade point average.
   2. The GRE may be required of those students with lower than a 2.5 grade point average.
4. Written personal statement describing the candidate's goals in the teaching profession and in Health Education.
5. Two letters of reference that address the candidate's potential to succeed in the teaching profession and graduate studies.

The department understands that any single criterion may not reliably predict a candidate's potential for success in a graduate program. Consequently, candidates are welcome to apply if they do not meet one of the criteria but feel that other aspects of their experience may compensate.
