Prerequisites

The Program requires an undergraduate degree with a Grade Point Average of 3.0 or better and a strong foundation in both social and natural sciences. Applicants to the environmental and occupational health or the public nutrition tracks are expected to have at least 18 undergraduate credits in science and mathematics. The nutrition track prefers applicants who have an undergraduate degree in nutrition or another health profession.

All applicants are required to take the Aptitude section of the Graduate Record Examination and to have at least one year of work or volunteer experience in an area related to public health. Graduates of universities in non-English speaking nations are required to have a score of at least 600 on the TOEFL examination.

Qualified students who lack specific undergraduate prerequisite courses may complete this work while pursuing their Masters.
