Graduate Programs

Health Science Master's Program (M.S.)

Admission Requirements

Admission to the master's degree program in Health Science requires an undergraduate degree in a health science field (e.g., nursing, health education, psychology, etc.) or substantial upper-division course work in those fields, or experience in those same areas (as determined by the program director). In addition, applicants must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.00 to be admitted to the master program; conditional admission may be granted to students whose GPA is at least 2.75. All GPA calculations for admission are based upon the last 60 units of undergraduate and post-baccalaureate study.

Also eligible for conditional admission are applicants without a health science background. To qualify for this applicant category, students must fulfill the same minimum GPA requirements and provide the program director with a personal statement (500 words or less) about why they are seeking admission to the program and how they see themselves using this degree. In addition, three years of documented work experience is required for this type of conditional admission.
