MPH* Health Promotion Specialization
Admission Requirements:
Entry into the MPH* degree program is very
competitive. In addition to recruiting top students from
a wide variety of undergraduate degree programs, we are
especially interested in receiving applications from
mature applicants who have work or volunteer experience
in health-relevant fields. Relevant fields might not
deal specifically with health but might concern issues,
for example, related to marginalization, social justice,
inequity, etc..
We offer places to approximately one in ten applicants,
with approximately 20 new students entering each Fall.
