Admissions Requirements
Admission to the MHSA program is granted to applicants whose academic, professional, and personal qualifications indicate potential for success in a graduate study.
Admission requirements include:
- A baccalaureate or advanced degree from a regionally-accredited college or university with a grade point average (GPA) of B (3.0). This admission requirement may also be satisfied by a 3.0 in the most recent 60 credits of the applicant's baccalaureate record. The quality of academic work taken beyond the bachelor's degree, either as post-baccalaureate (non-graduate credit) courses, or graduate credit courses, can be included with the most recent 60 credits to determine the student's academic average. In both cases the applicant must satisfactorily meet all additional admission requirements for the program. Conditional admission may be granted to students whose GPA is less than 3.0. Where conditional admission is recommended, the student is required to complete a list of courses specified by the program chair with a grade of B or better in each of the courses. These courses may not be repeated.
- A minimum one year of work or volunteer experience in a health care setting is recommended.
- Three letters of recommendation from professional and academic acquaintances, including one from a direct supervisor.
- Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended.
- A well-formulated career plan articulated in a brief essay; and
- A personal interview with the Chair of the Health Services Administration program.
