| Applicant Criteria for the Master of Public Health 2008-09 MPH Student Demographics Applicant Criteria for the Master of Public Health (MPH) The Master of Public Health program seeks qualified applicants with clearly identified career goals that are consistent with the anticipated training. Successful applicants must have a strong academic record and relevant academic preparation, as well as impressive references that state the potential for success as a public health professional. All students must possess a baccalaureate degree and either two years of post-baccalaureate health-related work experience or a doctoral degree in a field underlying public health. Those without relevant professional training or health-related experience should consider other master's programs.
Official Scores--Scores of the GRE, MCAT, GMAT, or LSAT, are required of all MPH applicants. Applicants who have an advanced degree beyond the baccalaureate or if they have completed a JHSPH certificate, they may elect to have their application reviewed by the MPH Admissions committee without a standardized test score. However, they may be putting themselves at a disadvantage, particularly if their admission materials do not demonstrate significant quantitative and analytical skills. Also, applicants who request to have their application reviewed without a standardized test score may significantly reduce their chances of being awarded a scholarship. How to Apply In addition to completing the application, applicants must also submit with their materials a statement of purpose, a resume, transcripts from all universities attended, and 3 letters of recommendation. Application can also be made on standard forms which may be obtained by contacting the Admissions Office. To obtain a paper application, an applicant must demonstrate lack of access to the Internet. The cost of submitting a paper application is $150. 2008-09 Tuition: *$500 of the admission deposit paid prior to arrival will be credited toward the matriculation fee upon beginning the program.
