General requirements

The department reviews each applicant’s personal statement, academic record, relevant experience, and recommendation letters carefully. It also evaluates applicants who show exceptional grit and passion through their application materials.

This admissions review process is holistic and involves a careful consideration of, for example, the depth and breadth of courses taken, demonstrated connection to HPM and MSPH, and the relationship of prior education and experience to the applicant’s area of concentration and career objectives.

Applicants to our full-time MHA format are not required to have full-time work experience prior to matriculation, but prior related internship or other work experience is helpful to support an applicant’s stated career and academic goals. Students in our part-time and executive formats require one and five years of related healthcare experience, respectively.
