Admissions

Approximately 30 new students are expected to enter the MPH program each Fall. Prospective students are encouraged to submit applications by March 1 although other applications will be reviewed sequentially until the Fall class is filled with 30 students. Prospective students applying for graduate research or teaching assistantships should submit all application materials no later than March 1. If the deadline for assistantship applications has passed, contact Dr. David Wyrick for information about late applications.

A complete application submitted to the UNCG Graduate School includes: information on the application form, official transcripts of all previous undergraduate and graduate studies, official scores on the Graduate Record Examination taken within the past five years, at least three recommendations, and a one-page statement of professional goals as related to the MPH program in Community Health Education.

The Department Admissions Committee has not established GRE or GPA minimum levels, but comprehensively considers all materials to estimate the likelihood of the applicant successfully completing the MPH program. Successful applicants have tended to have undergraduate degrees with a variety of majors including: psychology, biology, nursing, business, physical education, nutrition, and sociology. Successful applicants should demonstrate a record of strong undergraduate achievement as well as GRE scores above the fiftieth percentile.
