Master of Science in Environmental Health
Program Admission Requirements
- A baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution.
- A 3.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
- An acceptable score on the general Graduate Record Examination (GRE).
- A minimum of 30 semester hours of natural and physical science courses, including at one (1) semester of general microbiology, one (1) year of general biology, and one (1) year of general chemistry; college algebra and trigonometry or higher math are also required.
- Three (3) letters of recommendation.
Admission is based on the GPA, GRE scores, quality of recommendation letters, strength of background (coursework, college attended, and work experience), and available space in the program.
The department can grant conditional admission to candidates not meeting all of the minimum requirements. For example, work experience and letters of recommendation can be used to justify conditional admission for students not meeting one of the minimum requirements (e.g., GRE scores below what the department considers suitable). All applicants must submit an official transcript, GRE scores, and letters of reference before their application will be reviewed.
